This review of the fsd capability of an ADAS system in China by OoS is worth a look.
The system reviewed is "amazing"; the word Kyle used repeatedly.
A system like this might be the benchmark for Dream Drive and other ADAS systems.

As is the case for OoS, it's just over an hour long.
If you want to see the actual driving, skip to about the 10 minute mark.
However, the intro gives you the background info on the system and development, which I think is pertinent.
Also, check out the self-parking feature at the 59 minute mark.

 
This car has Lidars all around it. Lucid has a single forward facing Lidar...that's not going to give you the precision and reliability you need for city street self-driving. You need to have precise measurements of all the vehicles around you, not just in front.

Lucid's own roadmap only indicates hands-free Highway-Assist. And I think with the forward facing Lidar, Lucid could build a very reliable and safe system for that.

I appreciate your using 2ppm of your adult lifetime to view the video and summarize it. I agree with your analysis.

hah yea i did watch about 15 minutes of the video, and skipped around a bit. It is pretty interesting! It also makes me believe that creating an FSD-like system is actually easier in China than it is in the US.

Watching the video a bit, you can see that the self-driving vehicle doesn't actually have to follow all the rules. Kyle says that people are constantly just doing whatever they want, running red lights, pushing their way into gaps, etc... (the self-driving car is doing this as well)

With the 360 lidar sensors, it probably has very tight tolerances around the vehicle, so it looks like all you really have to do is program it to just get from Point A to Point B without hitting anything and following the speed/flow of traffic, and voila, done! LOL

While I think Tesla's FSD V13 is really really good, it still gets the tight tolerance stuff wrong. It needs gigantic gaps to feel comfortable going in parking lots and tight spaces. I think that's going to be their fundamental flaw with their camera-only approach.

I would think that roadmap could expand to include fsd over the long term. Perhaps not. The Lucid team seems so impressive.

I can definitely live without fsd. DDP will be overkill for me. FOMO is my motivation for DDP.
