Confirmed: Android Auto coming this fall!

[pyle112]

I saw a report that the Lucid Gravity has Android Auto. Is this true?

High probability, but I would not think it would hold back cars being delivered without it if it hasn't cleared Google.

Maybe it's cleared on 3.0?

If the UI/Computer/OS (?) are different between the Air and Gravity, wouldn't Lucid have to do two different qualification/validation with Google, one for Air and one for Gravity? And to the extent any of this is true, shouldn't Lucid have known about the Google qualification/validation cycle and should have baked it into their promised release dates?

I'm pretty sure they have to do validation for each vehicle. Yes. And likely they did factor that into their release schedule. But Gravity's certification shouldn't hold up Air's, and vice versa.

That's pretty much standard operating procedures for new HW/SW validation. It takes time, but it is necessary to avoid glitches. We are never smart enough to know in advance how SW and HW might interact. Maybe AI will make it better. For now, brute-force regression/validation mitigates the risks.
