About a month ago my 2025 Air Pure's Dream Drive Pro started failing on routes that it had worked on previously. After further troubleshooting I figured out that the GPS was intermittently placing the car a significant distance to either side of where it actually is (for instance, below it thinks I am driving in people's backyards to the left of where I actually am). This has happened in multiple cities. Soft resets have not fixed this. My local Lucid service does not seem aware of a fix for this. Anyone have this issue before?

Well, I do have two Teslas and a Rivian mysteriously parked in my backyard...

All kidding aside, DDP does uses the GPS to the extent that Drive Assist will not engage unless the GPS tells the DDP system that the vehicle is on an approved highway. My GPS was frozen a few months ago, and Drive Assist would not engage until a TCU reset got it running again. You may want to try that TCU reset, as your GPS, while functioning, if probably off target enough to think you are close to but not actually on an approved highway, so it won't tell DDP to engage. Hope this helps.

Thanks. Going in soon for a TCU reset. Interestingly/annoyingly I also found out while dealing with this that the Apple CarPlay Maps will use the car's GPS signal over its internal GPS when connected, so both Navs are messed up.
 
I’ve noticed this issue reoccurring for me recently. I wonder if it’s a .30 software issue?
