Gravity - Tesla-Nissan
Had the Gravity for a few days now and have taken several 100 + trips and always thought the LDA was a bit "sensitive". But yesterday I was taking a few people on a 80 mile round trip and it scared me enough to turn it off lol!
So, I was driving on a 2-lane highway, we were all talking and I was holding the wheel in my usual relaxed manner, when all of a sudden, the LDA kicked in (probably for valid reason) but it was so aggressive it pulled the wheel out of my hands. What really made this bad was it was right when we were passing oncoming traffic. I instinctually grabbed the wheel back and it felt like we might have been flung into the oncoming lane...
After a few minutes, and I had settled down, I thought to myself that maybe it just caught me by surprise and I overreacted. Mind you, I have extensive driving experience and have been driving with ADAS equipped vehicles for a long time (FSD orig Beta testing group). even some high-performance driving schools back in my younger days, but then it did the same exact thing about 5 miles up the road. At that point I quietly turned it off.

For the record, I'm not saying it was going to throw us into oncoming traffic, but I am saying it sure made me fear that it was.
I have also had it engage many times with my normal driving style and NOT scare me in the slightest...yesterday was different.

Wondering if anyone else has experienced this extreme scenario and/ or if you think it's too sensitive in general?

Thanks

Definitely agree. I set it to alert only and not to take corrective action. I find it often gives unnecessary sensor blocked alerts in the rain. Wish Lucid can have a channel for us to give feedback.
 
100% agree.

My biggest issue with it is that it intervenes prematurely, IMO. In my car, it is VERY sensitive to the left edge of the lane. I can be what feels like 2, even 3 feet away from the line and it will intervene, grabbing the wheel and throwing me rightward, which can get really hairy feeling when the road is curving to the left. I don't know what to say about the level of "aggression." It has to turn the wheel to turn the car, I guess, and the overall steering feel is pretty stiff. So maybe it just has to be that way. But yeah, it does really grab it out of your hand. When I am in open traffic on the highway, I'll often casually change lanes without signaling - when I had the LDA assist on, I'd get partway into the next lane, then the car would rip me back, then I'd fight it to overcome it and jerk back into the intended lane. People behind me must have thought I was in an action movie with a bad guy trying to take the wheel from my hands.

I kept it on for a weeks, hoping that maybe this would re-train me to use my signal every time - that's a good thing, right? But adding in the oversensitivity, I had to kill it. It's a shame to turn off something that could save my life if I drifted off asleep or lost attention or something, but I deemed it wasn't worth the risk. It was going to kill me first.
 
If I don’t disable the parking intervention, it won’t let me out of the garage because there’s a line behind me that it thinks is another car for some reason. It will just slam on the brakes over and over.
 
Yes, my wife who's a tiny lady had the steering wheel literally ripped away from her on a false lane detection cross scaring her. We are really worried about the car one day causing an accident or hurting us. It's been in the shop almost as long as we've taken possession with no progress on fixing. The service dept said it is inundated with other Lucid car problems to work on mine

Thanks, did you turn it off because of what I experienced?

Yes, aggressive overcorrection and the occasional correction for seemingly no reason led to changing the setting. When it does notify me of lane incursion, 99% of the tine I am already aware and usually there is a reason (such as avoiding a pothole).
 
Any way to turn off the lane Asit function completely. On my previous car i could disable lane keep assistance unless i was using Adas in witch i had the option of using the lane keep vs not using it

You don’t have to totally turn the system off. There is an option to “Warn but not intervene”. With this you get a buzz through the steering wheel (feels like you have driven over rumble strips) when you drift over a lane line either by accident or on purpose but no yanking on wheel. I have it set this way on my Gravity and much prefer it to the lane intervention that is on my Mercedes, although on the Mercedes it doesn’t yank wheel out of hand but is annoying.

I had the same with my AGT; I’ve turned in off years ago; I just use the warning not the corrective feature. Moreover, on bad roads the have covered markings, on many occasions it warns e that I driving on the line when I clearly am not.

I had the joy of a buzz through the SEAT (legs and butt) as a warning in the 2024 Chevy EV Silverado Enterprise offered when my Lucid was last in 4 service. Pity that engineer and design team. The worktruck trim level was kinda fun and really large. Plastic & vinyl interior lent itself to easy cleaning of dog fir with a leaf blower
