Gravity test drive

I'm not thinking it has anything to do with the HUD. Otherwise, I would think it would be mentioned in the Tech Upgrade Package with the HUD.

The AR feature of the HUD has the vehicle overlay onto the road, but not see-through.
AR sometime includes the use of 3D objects, but it's not the same as 3D surround viewing.

What you're suggesting sounds like the "3D Surround View Monitoring".
That's what I'm thinking the "see-through display" is, but thought someone had asked and knew for sure.

Speculation is good, but I like confirmation of speculation.
However, it will have to do for now. We've all become pretty good at it.
Also, no shade on the SAs, but it's possible they don't know or aren't sure yet.

I believe what he described is exactly what it is. I seem to remember seeing something in a video that is basically a “Birds Eye view” type feature that we see for parking but it actually remembers the surface of what your car has driven over and renders it rather than the photo of the car. It actually shows you what is under your car. I presume it has to have been moving for it to work obviously.

I agree, but the "enhanced 3D surround" statement had me wondering how is that any different from 3D Surround View Monitoring.

Your recollection of the "Birds Eye view" reminds me of seeing/hearing the same.
So, what differentiates See-through Vehicle Display from 3D Surround View Monitoring since they both are listed seperately in the DD2 Premium and above features?

Here's my take, not the best wording, but it's helps me with the distinctions:

• 3D Surround View Monitoring: Uses the exterior cameras to display the immediate vehicle surroundings; assists in parking and exits.
• See-through Vehicle Display: Uses exterior cameras and sensors to provide a Birds Eye view of the car while also providing a rendered display through the car to the surface below.

One day we all will know the full answer!

I think in Surround View you can use your finger to rotate the display keeping your car in the center. So it’s not like a “normal” overhead view, which has a camera locked directly above your car.

I believe that See-Through Display has nothing to do with HUD but rather is an enhanced 3D surround where you can see what is under the vehicle. I guess so you can see that the family cat crawled under it during the night and don’t back over it.

Actually, I think is more intended for off-road slow crawling over obstacles.

This is what I believe it is also. I wish I could remember where I saw it, maybe it was LinkedIn, but Lucid is marketing it as the ability to see under the car. There was not much more about it, so I am not sure if that means under the edges of the car, or actually a view of the entire surface under the car. Seems like they would need cameras under the car to do that.

I got the impression it is supposed to help with seeing curbs and avoiding hitting them. Which just means the cameras have a better angle to see slightly in front and behind the tires. Not all the way under the car.

I think it is simpler than that. As you are driving, it is remembering what the ground looks like as you drive over it--so from the front cameras when driving forward, and the rear cameras when driving in reverse. From that it creates a picture of what's now under the car--but was in front of, or behind, the car when you were driving.

So it's not going to show you if a cat snuck under the car. But it would help with where the curbs are, maneuvering around potholes, etc.

(I, too, am sure I've seen this demonstrated, but I don't remember what video it was in.)

You are correct, the vehicle must be moving forward for this effect to work. I have it in our EQS 580 SUV.

Found the video that mentions See-through Vehicle.
Couldn't give up the search. I knew I had seen it somewhere.
At the 6:06 mark of this video review.

Doesn't provide much detail.
Details "coming soon" or the feature itself.

Probably the wrong thread, but since DD was mentioned, why doesn’t Lucid just license Tesla’s AP software? Lucid is YEARs away from Tesla’s FSD functionality and as an owner, I’d prefer Lucid focus on other software tools when there’s an FSD out there that’s already really great. Don’t hate on me. I have a Tesla, Rivian and Lucid AT so am sensitive to the comparisons.

Do you mean license Autopilot? Or license FSD? It's not clear from your post, and they're not the same thing. Personally, if Lucid is going to license software for autonomous driving, I'd rather have them license Waymo Driver. Waymo driver is currently more capable. I don't want this thread to devolve, but I also prefer Waymo's safety-first engineering approach.

I don’t care who they license the tech from, but stop trying to recreate solid tech that already exists. It’s a waste of resources when folks actually want lots of other easy to create software like Android Auto (I know, it’s “coming soon”), less bugs, etc.

Or they could just license cars from Tesla and white label them. Why reinvent the wheel?
