Speculation Lucid UX 3.0

IMO Apple has so far neglected a huge opportunity there. An Apple car made no sense, a huge capital undertaking with low margins and difficulty in product differentiation. But I think an automotive OS that could run native Apple Maps, Apple Music, etc would be attractive to auto manufacturers and a big draw for many car buyers.

I agree. I never understood why they needed to make an actual car. But an automotive OS that tightly integrated with your iCloud and phone would be killer, for sure.

Maybe CarPlay 2.0 is a step in this direction? Who knows?

My gut tells me the minute manufacturers started seeing the dollar signs of advertising and data collection in their in-house systems, Apple was going to have an uphill battle convincing any of them to partner up.

It’s called CarPlay 2 and seems a majority of automakers are rejecting it in the way Apple wants them to integrate it. A number of automakers have stated they’ll do some “form” of CarPlay 2 but not giving Apple the keys to the kingdom.

Why? Because data and analytics are valuable assets and no automaker is going to just hand all that valuable information for Apple to use as they see fit.

You'd also need to write all the possible car apps, and maybe provide and maintain a solid cloud infrastructure for OTA updates and EV performance data gathering (trip consumption analysis and prediction).

Nah, I'll build an Android automation layer for the stupid Tidal and Spotify apps, lol. Or I'll just make sure to include Android Auto and CarPlay so you can just do media through that.

Quit stomping on my dreams. It's doable. :P
 
Has Lucid communicated any aspirational timing for Air to get 3.0 (1st half 2025, etc.)? Just curious.

I think gravity will preoccupy the team for the balance of 25. Id imagine we'd have incremental features added to 2.x that satisfy people's desires for FSD and maybe improvements to infotainment, but I wouldn't hold my breath. Many of us AAppreciate that pAAtience is AA virtue.

At one of the local events, a Lucid executive shared that Air and Gravity software development teams are two separate teams and development of Gravity software shouldn't interfere with Air software development.

This is my understanding as well.
 
It had been promised by either Peter or some other top player at Lucid (can’t recall who) that the Air would not be forgotten and much (or some?) of the Gravity’s UI would filter down to the Air. Do we still think that’s in the cards? Admittedly I’d be a bit disappointed if they’ve closed the books on the Air’s UI.

It is easy to promise software upgrades. However, Gravity UI may be impossible to install in a Lucid Air due to hardware limitations. As chips keep advancing, I am sure Gravity hardware is far superior to what we have installed in our 2022 and 2023 Airs. Maybe the new 2025 airs could have the same hardware.

They haven't closed the books on the Air but I think patience is going to be needed. Gravity is the focus at this point in time and I suspect we may continue to see one addition here or there from UX3.0 in future updates vs one BIG overhaul update anytime soon.

From discussions I had with Lucid staff last week they did say that a majority of what you see on the Gravity can be applied to the Air but it's not going to happen overnight. Also sounds like the focus on Air right now is more ADAS refinements.
