Lucid Group Inc. (NASDAQ: LCID) began rolling out a software update for its Gravity SUV that introduces hands-free driving capabilities and other features for North American markets.

The update includes Hands-Free Drive Assist, which supports steering, acceleration and braking on compatible highways. The system includes Hands-Free Lane Change that can guide the vehicle into adjacent lanes when safe, and Automatic Lane Change that can initiate passing maneuvers around slower traffic.

The software update integrates Google Maps Places API into Lucid's navigation system, providing enhanced search results with business details, ratings, photos and parking information. Charging station listings now include real-time availability data and recent imagery.

Adaptive Driving Beam headlights, available on DreamDrive Premium and DreamDrive 2 Pro systems, maintain high beams while dynamically adjusting around other vehicles to reduce glare during night driving.

New charging features include Advanced Preconditioning View and Predictive Charging Power, which provide information about battery temperature and expected peak charging performance before connecting to charging stations.

The features are currently available for Lucid Gravity vehicles in North America. The company stated that availability in other markets may vary and will be announced separately.

Lucid noted that the hands-free driving features require driver attention and should only be used on compatible roads as indicated by in-vehicle alerts. The DreamDrive 2 Pro system is an optional feature.
