Confirmed: Android Auto coming this fall!

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.
 
Time for Lucid to pay Google a visit :p

I have heard more than once that it's in development. I even heard they have a working beta. But still no word on when it will be released.

I wish I could sign up to be a beta tester for this.

I mean there's only a couple handfuls of Android green texters that own a lucid. Beta-testing would be a roll out!
 
It is a pretty unbelievable situation. If we are still waiting on Friday, March 20, 2025 at 10:42 PM EDT, we will officially not only have missed last fall, but also last winter and last spring. If it weren't for all of the thoroughly detailed updates we've received from Lucid in the interim, I would be frustrated. Oh, wait...

And please... I do not need to be reminded of the relative complexity of securing aOS approval vs. iOS approval. That has been a known hurdle since day one. Being aware of that does NOT constitute an update.
