Thread 'Camera lag/delay'

Apr 8, 2025

I was reversing in a parking garage this morning and unbeknownst to me there was a half second lag in the rear camera and overhead camera, which resulted in my hitting the wall (thankfully it was just the wall and not another car). I took some video of the lag after the incident to provide to Lucid.

I imagine this will cost $500-$1,000 to fix the rear fender, so I called Lucid and said I don't feel like this should be my responsibility given the cameras were not working correctly and the agent's response was that the cameras are "supplemental" and that essentially I shouldn't be soley...

• Adaptive Cruise is semi-erratic with occasional phantom-braking every 2 or 3 minutes.
• Native Sirius/XM starts off at half-speed (like a cassette player with low-battery) as software starts for about 5 seconds, which I find a bit amusing, but then it sounds "crackle-y" like it's missing bits which goes on for about 30 minutes, even changing channels
• Does not always register self-check dummy-lights upon pressing the brake pedal starting-out, therefore not allowing to shift out of Park for several minutes (sometimes).
• Reverse does not always lower the rear shade for 30 seconds delay.
• Computer NAV sounds choppy sometimes, usually starting-out driving if a destination is put-in, stuttering.
• Curb-Rash does not work as I've scored by right rear rim even though it was set to "ON" and was noon with good lighting. My fault but I thought a warning would ensue. Nope.
• Phone's Bluetooth often no longer connects with the car. Sometimes yes, sometimes no. Repeated exit/entry of the vehicle helps connect. Toggling the phone's BT does not.

Ford is not aware of any injuries related to the software error. The automaker has received one report of a minor crash resulting in property damage.

"A frozen rear-view camera display image while in reverse can create a false representation of where the vehicle is relative to its surroundings, increasing the risk of a crash," the NHTSA stated in a May 9 report.

I'm from Germany and still waiting for the new version. I'm still on 2.6.11.
Is there anything I can do to get the update earlier or force it?

Finally drove on the interstate for a road trip with this software and experienced several episodes of phantom braking . It seemed to occur generally when passing an 18 wheeler. It's a brief episode of the break being aggressively applied for a split second. Very disconcerting as it randomly happens.

Yes. I have had this too post-update. I didn’t want to say anything about it because it reminded me of the early days of “Enhanced Autopilot” and early “FSD” on our Teslas. It took years for Tesla to iron out the phantom braking. Our Tesla hasn’t done it in a very long time.

What I do wish for with Lucid is the ability to press Lucid Assistant (I think that what it’s called), and say “Bug Report. Phantom Braking”, and have that sent back automatically to Lucid. Sort of like what we’ve been able to do in Teslas for years.

Interestingly, I've lost efficiency based on my driving style by about 1 kwh/m from 4.10 to 3.10. This could be a more accurate reading, however as I'm under 15k miles.

These are all new problems with the latest software I've found. My guess is the code is crashing internally somewhere, or PGLs are being killed or zombie-processes are happening requiring daily reboots (maybe)? Startup is definitely not good anymore.

I've noticed the following changes that good ol' Soft-Reset Air-Logo did not solve:

• Adaptive Cruise is semi-erratic with occasional phantom-braking every 2 or 3 minutes.
• Native Sirius/XM starts off at half-speed (like a cassette player with low-battery) as software starts for about 5 seconds, which I find a bit amusing, but then it sounds "crackle-y" like it's missing bits which goes on for about 30 minutes, even changing channels
• Does not always register self-check dummy-lights upon pressing the brake pedal starting-out, therefore not allowing to shift out of Park for several minutes (sometimes).
• Reverse does not always lower the rear shade for 30 seconds delay.
• Computer NAV sounds choppy sometimes, usually starting-out driving if a destination is put-in, stuttering.
• Curb-Rash does not work as I've scored by right rear rim even though it was set to "ON" and was noon with good lighting. My fault but I thought a warning would ensue. Nope.
• Phone's Bluetooth often no longer connects with the car. Sometimes yes, sometimes no. Repeated exit/entry of the vehicle helps connect. Toggling the phone's BT does not.

I think the software load-up is significantly longer with this drop. I haven't had it before. I wish I could roll it back as I'm not quite happy with it.
