You don't get either for free just by using the base Android Automotive. You'd think it would be easier to get Android Auto, but not really. Both Apple and Google provide an app the OEM can "just" install on Android Automotive. It's making them work with the hardware and getting them certified...

Android Automotive OS is the operating system that runs on a lot of car infotainment systems including Lucid's and Volvo's. OEMs start with the common base and customize it.

Assuming it's the same, the Air's low-speed sound is definitely hovering spaceship, but I wouldn't call it loud. I can't hear it at all from the inside with the windows up, and from the outside I'd say it's just loud enough to notice from maybe 20ft away. I know what you're talking about, I can...

You can do either. You can add a credit card for charging to your account at lucidmotors.com and plug-and-charge should work like it used to, just with a bill at the end. If you don't, or if you start your charge with a credit card or the EA app first, you'll skip the Lucid account. Lucid...

Yep, this. You'll see these on top of vehicles from numerous companies working on ADAS. They mount a big 360º LIDAR system on top of the car as a ground truth and record data from both that and their own sensors to take back to the development team for benchmarking/testing.

Enode is https://enode.com/ Connecting to Enode is a feature of ABRP Premium. If you sign into your ABRP Premium account, it gives you an option to connect live vehicle data via Enode. For what it's worth, I've reached out to ABRP offering to help them get live Lucid data directly to at least...

You're right, it is mostly positive, it just irks me that it only picks quotes out of a forum thread and drops them on a for-profit site. The few things they added are stating it's a DE (nope) and claiming it's a modular platform that'll probably be turned into a pickup (what?)

Nope, they just lifted things right out of here. And got things wrong in the process.

Do you? Why? It shouldn’t matter at all.

That depends. If it can actually show what's under the car, even just around the edges? Useful for driving onto lifts, avoiding nasty potholes or rocks in places where you have no choice but to straddle them, pulling up very close to curbs, checking for sneaky cats hiding under the car. Air's...

I heard the same thing from the source -- somebody misheard e-fuse. They've gone from the bulky fuseboxes we have in our Airs to software controllable e-fuses.

Surely we've all had the experience of using the "build your own" tools from Porsche, Aston, etc. as if they're a 2000s "Barbie Dress Up" Flash game though. I'm not going to say I'd reject a car just because of its seat stitching color or something, but when I can choose, I sure do have opinions.

You're not missing anything, there is no option to leave them on with the car locked. I've never seen anyone actually use parking lights that way (in the US or Europe). We just call them side lights here and most have no idea what they're for. Don't get me wrong, I do see the reason for using...

Gravity is supported. Air should be coming some time in Q2.

I would have thought IFTTT on Android could do this somehow, maybe by controlling Google Assistant, but that looks convoluted. If it were possible to do straight from the phone though, my money would be on IFTTT.

The charging history Lucid records is only what is billed to/through Lucid. Only EA ever shows up, and only if you're using Lucid's charging subscription vs paying EA directly.

I don't think they are. In older cars most of the sensors would be wired up to a CAN bus connected to some ECU(s) which are then connected to beepers and maybe the screen. You still have multiple computers that can fail. Additionally, CAN bus "networks" are usually a chain of devices, relying on...

At one point not too long ago nearly all cars had actual cigarette lighters and ash trays. Does that mean they all should still? Anyway I don’t mean to start a debate over nothing, and I agree that if it is there, it should work. I just wouldn’t be too shocked if the radio is removed rather than...

You say that as if it's an obvious necessity, but I have never once attempted to turn on the FM/AM radio in my car. I don't care. For better or worse, radio is going the way of the dodo, and I'm not convinced a market survey would show that it's worth Lucid's money to put effort into it until a...

You mean a Pair of Air?
