Yeah, I find the ACC a little jerky too when it has to slow down when getting in range of the car in front. Could be a function of Regen being on, but like most people, I want Regen on full time.

I really wish the accelerator pedal wouldn't get WAY stiffer and harder to find the perfect spot with Regen on though. The pedal feels good when Regen is off, but for some reason it gets much stiffer and harder to dial in the speed with Regen on. My Macan doesn't do that, nor did our Mach-E. Makes the Gravity harder to drive.
 
Halo Secure Drive Recorder
Drive Recorder is available when your vehicle is parked and occupied to capture footage of the unexpected, even when you aren’t driving. Reviewing recordings in Fisheye view is now easier, with corrected perspective and improved clarity.

does this mean it will actually record if someone hits it now?

My early perceptions of 3.6.

I have DreamDrive Pro, so I can drive hands free. It works quite well. The lane keeping behavior isn’t much different than 3.5.1, but the adaptive cruise control is much improved. The car is much smoother now and doesn’t brake aggressively when someone cuts in front of you. Another huge problem before was detecting stopped cars and braking too late in panic. 3.6 seems to have solved that. It notices stopped cars from farther away and slows down like a human would do.

The expanded visuals are really cool, but I find it a bit distracting.

The adaptive high beams are cool and seem to work ok, but they’re also a bit distracting, because the segments keep turning on and off, and that catches your attention. I guess I’ll get used to that. I really appreciate that I can still engage all high beams manually, something Tesla won’t let you do.

The automatic lane change works well, but maybe too well. When I nudge the car into the right lanes to prepare for an exit, the car wants to move left again to the faster lanes. That’s intrusive, so I had to disable it, which is a shame.

Speed limit detection remains problematic.

Overall, I’m pleased, especially with the adaptive cruise control improvements. The car was jerky before and now it drives more like my previous BMW iX did.

Thanks for the update, so will DD Pro now take the appropriate exits?
 
"Speed limit detection remains problematic."

Ugh. So annoying. I was secretly hoping they'd get Camp Mode in this rollout. Hope they get it out very soon...like before camp season is over? ;-)

Other than that, looks like a good update.

Take the Guesswork Out of Preconditioning
The new Advanced Preconditioning View and Predictive Charging Power give you a better understanding of your vehicle’s preconditioning progress to help you optimize your DC fast charging. When preconditioning for fast charging, a new battery readiness indicator shows your progress toward the optimal target temperature range for fast charging. See a real-time estimate of the peak charging power your vehicle is ready to receive before you plug in, based on your current battery temperature, battery level, and other vehicle conditions. With this information, you could decide to precondition a little longer to optimize your peak charging power, or plug in right away.

Enable this feature in Energy > Charging > Settings.

This might be good. But I still wish they would also show us the battery temp somewhere (unless I've missed where it is). My Macan does this and I find it useful.

I think this is from some sort of shared problem with whatever service all ADAS uses. For example, my Tesla and my Lucid slam on the brakes and set the car to 30mph on the freeway in the same spot. So that issue is brand agnostic. I'm inclined to think its something with the information ADAS is being provided by whatever means it is provided.

Agree, I had the same issue on previous Audi's. Its not Lucid specific
 
So far 3.6.0 has been quite impressive, a very notable upgrade for me.

DD Pro feels great now, more or less like a smooth human driver. Lane changes are now very natural feeling. I was initially skeptical of automatic lane changes, but found them useful and cool. I generally take the car out of DD Pro and back to manual control a mile or two before my exit.

DD Pro's new driving visualization is more complete and is looking good.

I haven't noticed any changes with regards to fob locking and unlocking, but it always worked fine before, and still does.

Finding places on the built-in nav now works much better, giving search results that you'd expect, with a much more complete catalog of places.

Haven't tried the matrix headlights or charging information enhancement yet.

Not so. Mercedes can tell difference between main lane speed limit and exit ramp speed limit and even displays both on dash. Mercedes will maintain main lane speed limit and ignore exit ramps. Lucid seems to have just been taught how to read a speed limit sign and not the difference.

Even when I disable speed limit detection, the Gravity will give me warnings that a new speed limit has been detected due to exit ramps.

Marqie, this looks like an amazing update. What do I need to bribe you with to get Lucid to push this to my Gravity by Wednesday night so that I can use it for the 1350 mile long leg of my road trip that I start on Thursday? Those hands-free drive assist features sure would be nice for driving across Nebraska and Iowa. 🤣 (For all of you responsible types: Yes, I am joking. Yes, I know it will come in due time. Yes, I know it would be risky to install an update like this while I am away from home and full dependent on my Gravity.)

Anyone who DMs me their VIN in the next hour I will ask to be included among the early recipients. Deadline is 5:30 pm PDT.
