“Hey Lucid” is Trash

[Mike4rd]

“Hey Lucid” sucks. It doesn’t do anything I say. Can’t play music— saying “radio can’t support this request by voice”
It cant answer questions or is unresponsive. For a car this expensive I expect everything to work. Bring back Alexa. I can’t stand “hey Lucid”

It would be called poor even in the cheapest car, not yet suitable for a production vehicle.

They know it's not great (although I use it for navigation on a daily basis). It's an underwhelming first release. Specifically, at the owner event in Rutherford not long ago, they specifically said, they "hate" it, and the engineers "hate" it. So, they're well aware.

However, just as I said at that event, it's important to understand the architectural shift they made, and WHY they moved from Alexa. Just because the current release isn't as functional as Alexa was....it does NOT mean that using Alexa is the right long term direction. They now have full control over how the whole system works. This will allow them to innovate in ways that Alexa absolutely would not allow.

I'm wishing the engineering team Godspeed on this.

The voice misrecognition in my Audi is even worse.

Never been clear on precisely how fast that is, but yes, let's go with that

It's actually more of a well-wish for the start of a long journey, like "smooth sailing". No particular speed .

Google's in-car voice assistant (Volvo, Polestar, Honda, GM, etc) is generally very good. That and Maps are the two things missing from the Air. Glad to have Android Auto to fill the gap.

I just use "Hey Siri." She is way better than anything Audi has come up with.
