It can barely even drive itself well. We got a long time before that's an option.

Drives perfectly fine on any road I’ve driven it on. Automatic exit taking was never promised or announced, so we have no reason to expect it.
Dream Drive Pro is rudimentry at this stage, its been the same for a few years, no changes, maybe able to maintain lanes to some extent, i got another lucid delivered this week, and was hoping for Tesla like features, nothings changed. Hopefully someday! Looks like their AI is on a long nap!
lane centering has gotten better over time with less ping ponging. Lange change ability was added, and improved over a few iterations. It's entry/exit from corners on highways is smoother, and it also adjusts speed through corners as need to not exceed certain lateral g limits (I assume that's the goal, at least). It absolutely has changed over time.
Tbh brother it is, humbly, not a perfectly fine system by any sense or metric. I drove out to Sedona with it from San Diego almost entirely. Straight as can be road, then yes absolutely perfectly fine. San Diego to LA and anything other than perfectly straight roads? Absolute nightmare fuel. We gotta be more honest about DDP, it is not good. And accepting it being in this state only hurts us and future consumers of the product. I drove a 2023 base model Subaru as a rental recently. It did 99% of what Lucid does....for 30k.

I literally use it on highways all the time. It works fine. If yours is drifting or anything like that, you need service.
It’s not perfect, but neither is any other system. And it continues to improve.
No it doesn't drift. It's just very very very very veryyyyyy inconsistent. Never said perfect. Will not say it works fine. Maybe our standards of fine for a $9,000 system are different, but it pulls to many things to list here that culminate in my criticism.

Just wanted to share a bit about my weekly drive — it’s a 210-mile trip, mostly on the NJ Turnpike. The road’s not exactly straight, and there’s always some kind of construction going on. Despite all that, my Lucid handles it like a pro. It keeps a safe distance, cruises comfortably around 74mph, and changes lanes smoothly without any of that weird phantom braking, even when someone cuts me off (which happens more often than I’d like).
I really wish I had a dash cam to record some of the jerks who dart in front — would make for an interesting highlight reel!
Oh, and something cool happened the other day: I initiated a lane change, but by the time Lucid was ready to execute, the dotted lines had turned solid. It automatically canceled the maneuver, exactly like it should. Love when tech works that precisely.
Just thought I’d share!

I don't know about New Jersey traffic but out here, driving a steady 74 would make you a slow driver and one who should remain in the right lane. When I have lots of time on a local trip, I will sometimes do what you do: set the ACC at 74 (speed limit is 65) and just cruise. But I do it in the right lane and most drivers will pass me. Are you using ACC? If so, which distance setting do you use?
Maybe the jerks who are jumping into your safe distance space are just frustrated with your speed. Are you keeping up with traffic at 74 in NJ?
On the other hand, I am a transplanted easterner and I do vaguely remember a lot of dumb and nasty drivers in the area.
My current complaint is people who drive in a left lane and then ride alongside someone in the right lane. Either pass the person in the right lane or get behind that person.
If everyone followed the instructions in the driving manual (stay to the right except to pass or if you are maintaining your appropriate distance from the person in front of you) traffic would flow much better and we would have much faster commutes. Look at traffic in Germany for an example of how to do it. It is not unusual out here to see drivers on the freeway driving 90+ mph and weaving in and out of lanes and it is equally likely to see someone driving slowly and continuously in the left lane.

Yes - it certainly makes you slow when others are doing 80/85. I would rather be safe than sorry. Also, I drive in Center lane and use the right lane only to pass by the slower driver in front of me. Yet, some Jerks swirls from right to all the way the left lane.

I couldn’t agree more with this. Traffic is going smooth and then there are some drivers who feels like they own the road and drives in the fast lane and doesn’t give way to cars who are literally on their tail. This causes some drivers to frustrate and then cut the cars on the adjacent lanes without giving any signals.

This is my experience too. I have only experienced anything weird, or any kind of pulling to the wrong place on a specific spot on CA-17, but it doesn’t do it aggressively and I can predict when it’ll happen in that small section.
Otherwise it just… works.
Well I just got a ticket in AZ, travelling from Scottsdale to Flagstaff, for going 75 (written for 74) in a 65 zone. Not a construction zone. I did not see the sign where the speed dropped from 75 to 65.

If you set your ACC to 75 then really, you are travelling at 73.
I use it pretty constantly, and it works great for me. It functions and changes lanes well. It will get better, but it's as advertised for me as it is. They never offered or stated it would be level 4 or "Full Self Driving" like someone else has been saying since the first Model S.

I agree. I think it's definitely worth the money to add it now. If you had of asked me 12 months ago I would have said no but the last few updates to it have been solid. You can tell "hands free" is just around to the corner.
Lucid did promise L3 in the early days but all references to that got removed from the website long ago.

That is unusual. Usually the cops give everyone a ten mile forbearance. There is one exception to that practice: the state has now marked out a few sections of highway as "safety zones" and they say they will strictly enforce the speed limit in those zones; it is almost an approval of the ten mile rule elsewhere.

That is and should be a reasonable practice. Unfortunately, in my experience, using anything other than the closest setting tends to allow the practice you are describing of drivers jumping into your safe space.
From my experience, you have two choices: either change to one space or accept that drivers will be jumping in front of you even though you are driving reasonably.
BTW....in New Jersey, as in most states, you are required to drive in the right lane except to pass:
"Keeping to the Right New Jersey law requires motorists to keep to the right, except when passing. Motorists must drive on the right half of the roadway unless driving on a one-way street. Motorists must drive a vehicle as close as possible to the right-hand edge or curb of the roadway, except when overtaking and passing another vehicle. (N.J.S.A. 39:4-82) On a multi-lane roadway, motorists must drive in the lane nearest to the righthand edge or curb of the roadway when the lane is available for travel, except when overtaking another vehicle or in preparation for a left turn. (N.J.S.A. 39:4-88)"
NJ Driver's manual p. 65.
Most drivers ignore this rule these days and driving in the center lane has become very common everywhere.
