I find it to be more stressful for me than just driving by myself: if I have to monitor everything around to ensure it's the right time to do the left turn I'd be also ok to just do the turn, and I feel much safer doing that when I feel it safe than also monitoring that the car won't do it when...

For me that is a clear signal no any Tesla robotaxi will come to the road any time soon: who is going to be liable? That can't be anyone in the car as robotaxi will not have any controls inside. That can't be Tesla as Elon will do everything to avoid any liability. Who then? Some 3rd party...

Unfortunately not every car manufacturer realizes this: there are quite a few BEV with the charging port on the rear left in Europe - they just don't bother doing that differently for different markets ... Even worse: even some cars that AFAIK don't exist on the US market at all still have the...

And that is what I've seen quite a few times already in various videos containing extensive explanations of what happens inside of the battery: "don't overcomplicate things, especially at cost of your convenience - use your car how would you use it, just try to avoid extreme cases if possible"

And what is the 10 year degradation for Lucid Air battery on its charging curve? The answer is: we don't know either, they haven't existed that long. Everyone does estimations based on various intensive stress-tests. And not only car manufacturers: battery manufacturers do this as well or even...

I can start navigation to someone's address by starting typing their name in Google Maps search in AA. I've also tried "Navigate me to <Person's name>" and that didn't work. But it's not a problem for me as no systems process my "Navigate me to ..." properly: I'm not native English speaker...

I can't enable it for in-car interactions only, and I don't want to have it generally enabled for various reasons. Oh I didn't say I need any solution for today. My current car has Android Auto (it is just slightly annoying it's over cable only, but not a big issue). I was answering on the...

It works not as smooth as when all sounds go from the same device as the multimedia system needs to switch sources, then switch them back. I don't have "OK Google" enabled as I usually don't talk to the phone: saying `play <song name>" is the car is the only usage case of voice assistant for...

I'd have to chose the app and then playlist or the station in it trough the phone screen - dangerous and forbidden by law. And won't be able to just say "play <song name>". And have music and navigation directions properly mixed.

For me Android Auto is: * Google Maps. Because they are the most up to date with all recent changes. And the most precise with estimating and navigating according to current condition. And because search works how it should work, and can find any points of interest, without the need to know the...

It's unfair to compare with Fisker and blame "high volume segment" as the cause it failed when Fisker didn't have such investor as Lucid has

Well they need to have something to justify the price difference

If I understood properly scheduled charging usually works properly if at the time the car was connected to the EVSE it was ready to charge, and never works if that that time the EVSE was not allowing charge, but switches to allow to change at scheduled change time. If that is true then It...

I'm not Bruce Willis ... 🤷‍♂️

Em you are saying that scheduled charging relies on a server side functionality? I'd call this significant design failure. Even very cheap SoCs can wake up on the integrated RTC timer these days.

I'm not talking about probability of this to happen. And my understanding is that the original question was not about this either. I'm talking about potential ability for someone else to do anything with firmware and online services. And this is very comparable. It can work with some hardware...

That is how every car company does it today unfortunately. It is not the only option, and probably not the option how it should be. Android phones market shows this: there are quite a few alternative firmwares available, also for some EoL devices, and phone owners usually have the way how to...

In general yes. But The initial question is very specific, not general. It's a good practice (and even required in some cases) to continuously ask "what if ...", and probably do some design choses, decisions, etc. What if power steering in the car will break? What if your bank will go down (or...

Fisker Ocean story shows that will be very little chances to have software support and online services working if Lucid disappears - nobody seems to be designing this part the way that would make it doable to transfer it to anyone.

By the time they started building Touring they have been building Dream Edition and Grand Touring for a year already. EPA ranges of Dream Edition were announced on September 16, 2021. By that date there were likely quite a few production ready but "not for customers" cars produced. And even...
