Exactly what I was thinking. Something like version 2.11 is the “package” that goes to the car. Inside that package is a container for the UX which has its own internal versioning as 3.0. UX was assigned to the version 2.11 payload to the car.
I found in my quick attempt that Google Maps on CarPlay wise you can’t navigate with that on top screen and lucid nav on bottom in terms of turn by turn on both. If you hit “go” on lucid nav it stops turn by turn on CarPlay Google Maps.
Agreed. Tried Google maps briefly, but mostly Waze in my brief testing. If Lucid maps were in control for routing, telling Waze to route (turn by turn) resulted in Lucid nav stopping immediately. You did the opposite but the same result. I can see why having two apps doing to turn-by-turn routing would be an issue (e.g. imagine if both had audible directions enabled).
I don’t know of another car that allows two navigations to either the same or different destinations at the same time. It seems like this could be confusing and potentially even dangerous once level 2++ is rolled out if you’re watching Waze actively navigate (as opposed to showing alerts and routing) but the car is following native nav.
That’s correct and exactly how it is on Gravity as well. I think it’s perhaps a safety limitation.
What I would really like to see is like what’s in my wife’s Volvo XC 90, where when you activate Google Maps on CarPlay, it shows you turn by turn in her car behind the wheel, and then on her center screen it shows a wide shot of Google Maps showing the whole point from start to finish automatically. In UX 3.0, it seems like when you start the CarPlay Google Maps on the top screen, you have to then manually open the lucid nav on the pilot panel and manually adjust the zoom in and out to get a view of the whole trip. Of course, this is better than what we had before, but it would just be nice if they integrated CarPlay directly into the bottom screen. I don’t think it’s an Apple thing. I think it’s a lucid thing because you can do it on other cars having CarPlay on both screens at once showing different views
...nice right?
This is true across every vehicle I’ve ever been in. There are a number of reasons: 1) they both do use the car’s gps, as the phone gps within a vehicle is less reliable (due to, in part, metallic tint and being inside the vehicle) and thus they use the vehicle’s chip which is housed outside the cabin.
You are mistaken. For wireless CarPlay, the vehicle providing the GPS is a requirement. For wired CarPlay, it is optional (and can use your phone’s GPS), but the vast majority of manufacturers implement it anyway. Apple prefers it, for the reasons mentioned above.
Same.
The Lucid “L” button tile in CarPlay. I don’t see any other way to revert back.
(FWIW, this is also the way it works on all vehicles with CarPlay, so that’s a reliable way to get out of CarPlay on any vehicle; there will always be a manufacturer icon that takes you back. Some vehicles have additional methods, but this one is always there)
For sure. Am I completely blanking out, or did the prior software version have another way to get out of CarPlay because I never used the L button.
There used to be icons on the left side for home, media, etc. They have now extended CarPlay to take up the full possible width, so those icons are gone.
Too bad. That seemed simpler to me.
Yup. Tried it in the car and while you can display maps on second navigation app you can only have a destination on one map at a time. My speculation was dead wrong.
