"Lucid Motors wants to be the first automaker to sell you a Waymo-grade self-driving car. But it's not going it alone. That audacious bet on what it calls "hands-off, eyes-off, mind-off" autonomy rests on a wide-ranging partnership to use self-driving hardware and software from Nvidia. The electric vehicle startup announced today that it will incorporate the chipmaker's Drive AGX Thor computers, DriveOS operating system and Drive AV autonomous software in its upcoming lineup of midsize EVs, which start launching in late 2026. Lucid says that Nvidia technology should deliver Level 4 autonomous drivingmeaning, full autonomy with no interventionsto personal vehicles."
"The Nvidia-powered overhaul of Lucid's driver-assistance tech will start with Level 2 eyes-on, point-to-point driving features, much like what Tesla offers today through its Full Self-Driving (Supervised) suite. The system should allow drivers to put in a destination and have the car navigate itself there, under full supervision. That will be available in the midsize model at launch and should hit the new Gravity SUV around the end of 2026, a Lucid spokesperson said."
"The Gravity's hardware will remain as is. It's just getting new Nvidia software. The midsize lineup, however, will benefit from two Drive AGX Thor computers and Nvidia's "multi-sensor suite architecture," which includes lidar, radar and cameras. Lucid plans to upgrade the midsize model's capability to Level 4 over "a couple of years" after launch, spokesperson Justin Berkowit"
Lucid is partnering with Nvidia to integrate Drive AGX Thor computers, DriveOS and Drive AV software into its upcoming midsize EV lineup with launches beginning in late 2026. The company aims to reach Level 4 autonomy, meaning full autonomy without intervention, by upgrading capabilities over a couple of years after launch. Initial functionality will provide Level 2 eyes-on, point-to-point supervised driving that navigates to set destinations. Midsize models will include two Drive AGX Thor units and a multi-sensor suite of lidar, radar and cameras. The Gravity SUV will receive Nvidia software updates while retaining existing hardware.
