Be prepared to wait. (See above.)
It hasn't worked for me previously without a full press. Now I'm gonna have to go out for a drive!
I'm pretty sure I had the collision avoidance kick in once in my 6 months of ownership, assuming it wasn't new when the big drive assist was released two months ago. (or maybe it happened after the release, but I think was before and I was not using assist .. is that possible??). Car stopped short in front of me on a 50 MPH road, and I'm pretty sure the car and I both had the same avoidance maneuver in mind at the same time. But I think the car beat me to it. I'm still not 100% sure but it felt like it did. And, it was pretty freaking amazing. (and if it didn't, I'll take the credit for being amazing, but I felt like the car did the work)
two weeks is nothing, honestly. and, although many people want this asap, it's still a regular software release that has to go through the same rigor and care that any release does, even the "boring" ones. so, we wait and when we get it, we'll be happy. oh .. and if you want to see what it's like, just use drive assist and take your hands off the wheel for a second. imo it will be that, and the eye detection instead of torque on the steering wheel.
Updates are always rolled out in waves, typically over a period of several days, sometimes stretching into 1-2 weeks (my estimate, nothing official). In the early days, I think the longest I waited was ~2.5 weeks. Since then it's been closer and closer to the initial release of the patch.
Bigger releases tend to roll out slower. Occasionally a bug is found that pauses the rollout until a fix is made. All very normal.
I wish you a speedy update, but as I am both special and very impatient, I think my OTA should arrive first.
not sure what we think, but I don't think so, other than maybe a minor tweak (possibly). reason is that I understand the last hurdle was regulatory .. that is getting the whole thing approved (whatever's involved there, no idea, and there's certainly no global regulatory body?). but given that, my guess would be that one requirement of lucid's (maybe driven by a govt need) would be that the software be in use without hands-free so there's confidence in how it's working .. just the lane centering, lane change assist. I suspect adding hands-free is a big enough risk without adding more risk of other ADAS driving changes. I think adding major driving changes along with hands-free is just too much risk at once. I know that if I were to take my hands off the wheel now in drive assist and keep them off until it bugs me, it drives pretty well (can't explain the other pop-up issues that others report of bad performance, which I suspect are one-off calibration issues, etc). so my feeling is that this is just the hands-free part and the adas will remain largely as-is (which, for me, works well). so, that's my bet. I don't think it's a large update for the announced changes and will install in 30 mins or less. I do think the marketing value waay outweighs the technical change that's rolling out now. I'd love to be wrong and have it do many many more cool things, work "better" (whatever that would be) or have other additions, but my gut tells me that's not what's going to roll out.
Well there is no doubt you are special, and I am only somewhat special, but I do know people who are really special, and I think that should put me in line ahead of you.
I totally agree with you there! We can all hope there are other tweaks to ADAS coming with this, but the risk is too high. If there are significant issues with this roll-out, it would be widely acknowledged by the automotive media.
I feel the same way. Before the software release that included AA, DA was taking curves smoothly. After that update it went back to feeling like it was making multiple corrections in every curve…
The problem Lucid is facing is that every one of their customers is special...thats why we all got Lucids! How do you plat favorites in a group of special people?
The real question is: Will Timothé Chalamet get the update first, he seems very special
Fwiw, I'm not seeing that on 2.7.1, it's butter through the corners on DA for me.
Interesting. Everything about DA seems to have “reverted” one version backwards for me on 2.7…
