My Mac boots in less than 30 seconds.

Rather than running the whole system, a small component could run to check for updates. The whole system doesn’t need to be on. I had to soft reset because the software hung. The software hang is more likely if the system never reboots and thus never reclaims leaked memory and stops zombie...

Do a soft reset.

I turn my laptop and phones off all the time, and they each boot much faster than the lucid infotainment. I’ve worked on software teams for consumer operating systems. Assuming ‘warm boot’ is regularly used as a reason to not optimize ‘cold boot’ times. I’d be willing to bet Lucid’s...

Meow. Cat is on version 5.e.

Turning things not in use ‘off’ is perfectly reasonable, irrespective of the power source. The lucid is always on, I believe, to mask its long boot time.

there is a risk of operating a car that infreqs speed faster than it reduces speed. Plus one on hoping the humans involved are safe.

Bambu labs for sure. They are for makers. Every other brand is a tinkerer’s toy. I’ve made light covers, boxes, models, shelf organizers, all sorts of stuff. Regarding software, I use openscad for modeling and the slicer bambu labs supplies. Prior to the bambu I used cura. Like I said, the...

The tricky thing is defining the harm and the class of people the harm applies to. If the class is ‘people annoyed by empty threats of legal action’ the harm is being ‘annoyed by speech in a public square’. If the harm is ‘fear of a frivolous lawsuit’ then the class is the targets of the class...

Also note that range estimates are based on recent miles per kWh. It will go down in hot and cold extremes.

I usually disengage by tapping the brake. I will say that there is a second or so delay before it engages, wouldn’t be surprised if there is a disengagement lag too. Will try next time I drive.

I wonder how much of this is based on the staff responsible for maintaining particular EA stations.

For adaptive cruise I put my lucid third behind my Leaf and Solterra. Lucid is better than my wife’s Subaru ascent. My basis is how often I wrestle with the lane centering. the lucid could earn a point by having engagement of auto cruise be one button instead of two.

Lucid is made in California, not Washington. They only get to test real rain a few times a year. Makes me wonder if the folks who say 'it is fine' are in dry climates and the folks who are complaining are in wetter areas.

Assuming my information is up to date, the Mercedes system is very limited. Day time, in perfect weather, on well-marked divided highways it goes up to 38 mph and requires the user to be ready to assume control. You can use it on some sections of the autobahn, at 37mph max. 37mph is not what I...

In reality there are probably only a dozen or so configurations. I expect this is similar (or less) effort than creating the interface for programming a harmony remote. A simple version wouldn't be too hard to put together. The actual software is just a wrapper around some database. Common...

I got DD Pro with my Lucid, but I had and have zero expectations that it will go beyond level 2. I just wanted to make sure that the car had the best chance of a good level 2 ADAS experience. So far Dream Drive is at my expectations, though I don't like the name. It is better than 'autopilot'...

I feel the same way. Transitioning from start to stop or stop to start in the Lucid is quite a bit different than other (automatic) cars I've driven. One thing they could consider would be to have a map from make/model/year of car to driving settings, so the car could be configured to be as much...

Does the car generate enough ambient heat to thaw the frunk? Might be a software solution where the car won't open the frunk if the ambient temperature is below some threshold and the car hasn't had enough warm up time to predictably open the frunk.

Definitely. A surprise for me was Tidal. I've been on Spotify for ages, and didn't realize there was higher quality streaming.
