Lucid is revolutionizing the driving experience with voice assistant based on artificial intelligence. The Californian brand keeps proving why it is considered one of the most innovative electric vehicles manufacturers in the world. Lucid is known for developing luxury vehicles with top autonomies in the market, the company has gone a step forward by integrating voice assistant with artificial intelligence (AI) in its models.
This new function, coming from OTA (Over-The-Air) software update, is a turning point in the driving experience for those owning the Lucid Air, and, soon, the expected SUV Lucid Gravity.
The automotive industry never stops developing new technology for their vehicles to stand out. So, let’s see why this technology is so remarkable.
A ‘’mini-copilot’’ called Hey Lucid
The system, which is activated when you say ‘’Hey Lucid’’, allows drivers to interact with the car in a natural way as if you were talking to a person. This innovation has been developed along with SoundHound and it’s based on the SoundHound Chat AI platform. This company specializes in voice and AI technology, so we can expect it to be awesome.
Thanks to this technology integrated in the cars, the assistant can answer general questions and offer a total control of many car functions.
What can Lucid’s intelligent assistant do?
It stands out for its versatility and among its main functions we can find:
- Car’s function through voice control: climate settings, seat adjustment, navigation or entertainment systems.
- Questions in real time: information about the traffic, climate or near charging stations.
- Access to digital guide: the driver can ask the system any technical detail about the vehicle without having to check any paper.
- Personalized recommendations: you will have suggested near restaurants, alternative routes or travel advice
- General questions: thanks to its connection to multiple online sources, it answers about sports, culture, news and more.
What’s more, the system is already available in six languages (English, Spanish, French, German, Arabic, and Dutch) and more languages are on the way.
A technology that evolves with time
One of the most attractive aspects of this advance is that it’s not about a static product, the Lucid voice assistant is ready to learn and improve with the passage of time.
According to Jean-Philippe Gauthier, the company’s Director of Software Engineering, the system can increase its functionalities thanks to OTA updates, which guarantee clients a more complete and personalized experience. This is basically like your smartphone, that with every update it improves the apps and the system.
Lucid Air and Lucid Gravity
Lucid Air, the top model of the company, is known for its record autonomy reaching up to 960 km with one charge. Now, with the incorporation of the voice assistant, the model gains a new level of technology sophistication. It’s like the icing on the cake.
Then, we have the Lucid Gravity model, the luxury SUV the brand will launch very soon. It will enter the market with this innovation already integrated, offering clients a unique experience from day one.
Artificial Intelligence serving the driver
Basically…
