Do the standard DreamDrive comes with Autopilot like on the Teslas?

I had another question, since I opted not to go with DreamDrive pro. The car does come with a backup camera when reverse is activated? What about cameras on the side or even the front while in reverse?

when i asked them that, they said the only thing that would be missing is the lidar and the 360 view of the car.

Rear view cameras are required. So yes, you will still have that
 
They are also adding actual hardware when you order DDPro, unlike Tesla who are merely flipping a software switch.

So resale value should increase for DDPro-equipped cars.
To be fair, Tesla puts the same hardware in all cars for ease of manufacturing efficiency. Lucid could do this, but they’re of the opinion LiDAR is necessary to solve FSD and likely costs too much to include in cars that don’t opt for DDPro. Resale value is only worth meaningfully more if they actually solve L3 autonomy.
 
Same thought process as me - it just depends on what's important to someone(I currently drive a Model 3 and don't want a crossover either). I'm not willing to spend $100k on a car, which rules out the S and more expensive Air options. I also want actual technology/engineering and a bit of luxury, so cheaper sedan options that are thrown together by legacy auto don't make the cut. I'm indifferent to the looks, extra storage space, and certain other things. I like the Lucid 400mi range, what I've read about the ride quality, and interior setup over the Tesla options. That said, I require Autopilot or an equivalent. My car only gets used for a 30 mile each way daily commute, but a fair bit of that is driving in the dark (I have an astigmatism) and I want the added safety of the car driving itself with me to oversee it, not the other way around. I understand many will complain about Autopilot, but for me it's been over the past 3 years and makes my commute significantly less stressful.

I am curious. What does autopilot do for you that a good quality adaptive cruise control doesn't do?
 
Wow thanks for all the responses. I decided to upgrade my reservation from the pure AWD to the Touring with just the 21” wheel option without DreamDrive pro. I have a Tesla now and paid for the FSD hardware with the monthly subscription..I could never get my safety score to 98%..Therefore I waisted my money 😞….Autopilot is nice but not needed, because I do not drive that much.. The 360 camera with the Blindspot image in the control panel is nice but not that Important. I just don’t see the value in spending $9k for a feature that will never come to age…I am still under a $100k with the touring which means the wife will be happy 😎😎

The Lucid is a fairly large vehicle (it is essentially the same size as my BMW 530e). I find the 360 camera is very useful when parking. But having to pay $9K or $10K for that seems excessive.

In my understanding ACC controls vehicle speed only- essentially standard cruise control with capability to modify set speed to match the flow of traffic. Autopilot adds autosteer to that - will steer within its lane (although driver still needs to be attentive and intermittently hand on wheel). Other manufacturers have their own versions of this with their own terminology.

Fair point. But from what I can see with Teslas, the ones that already have FSD do sell at a higher price. People buy FSD on the promise of what it "can be", not what it is.

Not everyone is willing to pay that markup. But many do. Otherwise, the price wouldn't still be going up for FSD.

And especially since FSD and DDPro are likely to keep going up in price, it'll always be an advantage when selling. Just look at the pricing already. To the buyer, a used Air with DDPro installed looks like a $12k value, even though you as the original purchaser only paid $9k for it.

Even if they are only willing to pay an extra $10k, you still made money on the deal, and they feel like they got a bargain.

Five to ten years from now, when DDPro is likely a $20k add-on, you'll likely do even better.

I paid $5k for FSD when I got my car. It's now worth $12k. It's not worn out or likely to need service. If anything, it becomes more capable over time. That doesn't happen very often with cars.

I paid $2K for FSD on my 2018 Model 3 ($10K additional if I bought when the car was new). But I'm in the middle of selling the car this week, and it doesn't look like I'll getting much more than $2-3K additional for FSD compared to a non-FSD car.

Options rarely impact of used car prices.
