I think your second paragraph has been talked about at great length and doesn’t really have anything to do with HA.I find driving more relaxing without HA as presently configured. It does not drive as I do, being fractionally delayed in it's responding, leaving me having to be more vigilant than just manually driving. It produces more anxiety just having to be sure it corrected it's delayed centering, for example. I also find the car demands two hands on when at 2 and 10 positions, to avoid the nag, and I haven't had to do that since drivers education and my first driver's test for the state examiner. That flat steering wheel bottom calls out for one handed driving on that flat portion. (And why can't they adjust something so the car knows my hand is STILL on the wheel) Long story short I only use HA if I want to do something stupid like use my phone. Those GMC adds where the drivers are playing paddycake on tv are making me envious.!!! With all these sensors and all the money we pay for this car this should have been addressed long ago.
And on a slightly different subject, the recent brouhaha about Peter Rawlinson's salary makes me wish I never bought the car and could return it even though I absolutely love it. With the stock price hanging around the delisting level I don't understand how the upper execs can take over 350 million for an annual income. It's lucid not Google wake up! The money is not going to the right places for company survival
I actually think there needs to be more feedback about HA. I believe that Lucid made a major mistake instituting a torque system and the sooner they correct it the better. They could actually migrate to a line of sight system like BMW without adding any new technology to the car. Of course they need to fix the ping ponging issue and probably make the interior eye tracking more “robust”. If they are going to eventually get to level 3, they are going to have to migrate over anyways.
