It's unclear to me how the Lucid Assistant made it out to production. It's awkward, largely unhelpful, non-intuitive.
Things to improve:
#1: Actual and complete control integration: "Open the glovebox" "open the frunk" etc. should just make that happen. The whole car is software driven - every control is "soft". There are buttons in layers of menus that aren't all that hard to find - but why make me find them when we supposedly have an "Assistant"
#2: Speech recognition/parsing needs to handle sentences that aren't perfect, etc. Just like very other competitive voice assistant. This includes asking questions to clarify - not make me ask twice.
Bottom line: I should be able to talk to it to get operate anything in the car.
Reading the tea leaves - an AI assistant being in the works might well be making any fix here a waste... Concern: does the car have the computes to do this without some datacenter powering it? If not, what happens when you've got no cell service...
