With technology and user experience at its center, the Lucid User Experience is designed with people at the heart of vehicle operation, communication, and entertainment<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

UAE, May 27, 2021 \u2014\u00a0Lucid Motors<\/a>, which is setting new standards for sustainable mobility with its advanced luxury EVs, today revealed the Lucid User Experience \u2013 or Lucid UX \u2013 the constellation of technology designed for intuitive, effortless, and elegant interaction with Lucid Air.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cIn much the same way that a holistic, clean-sheet approach to design and engineering has made possible the revolutionary packaging and efficiency of Lucid Air, this built-from-the-ground-up strategy has also enabled the creation of Lucid UX, a truly innovative human-machine interface that is easy-to-use and aesthetically beautiful,\u201d said Derek Jenkins, Senior VP of Design and Brand, Lucid Motors. \u201cLucid UX retains specific aspects of a traditional physical interface and pairs those with an innovative digital form factor that\u2019s highly advanced and ergonomic, providing intuitive access to all vehicle systems.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Glass Cockpit and Pilot Panel <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The interior of the Lucid Air features two primary touch-control displays \u2013 the Glass Cockpit, a sweeping 34-inch 5K-resolution curved instrument display, and the Pilot Panel, the centrally located lower console display enabling further in-depth controls. Both are contoured toward the driver and are positioned to be within easy reach. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Glass Cockpit groups information and controls logically into three sections, with a gentle sweeping curvature to not only the glass, but also the underlying displays themselves. At the left are core vehicle controls, such as window defrosters, lighting, and wiper settings. The center cluster is designed to take full advantage of the flexibility of a digital display, showing speed and range information in a clutter-free space. When certain features in the DreamDrive driver assistance system are activated, this same screen is instantly reconfigured to a three-dimensional depiction of the Lucid Air and the other vehicles around it on the road. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

To the right of this is a home screen for managing navigation, media, and communications.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In addition to displaying climate controls and seat functions, the centrally positioned Pilot Panel also serves as a larger canvas when users need more information. For example, a driver or passenger can simply swipe menus from the Glass Cockpit to the Pilot Panel to display in-depth controls for music or navigation. The Pilot Panel can also retract, opening access to a storage space behind it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Both the Glass Cockpit and the Pilot Panel were designed in close concert with the rest of the vehicle interior to ensure a seamless transition between digital and physical, ultimately creating an interior that feels like a single coherent space. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Modes of Interaction that Fit the Task \u2013 Speak, Hear, See, and Touch<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Lucid UX is designed to be warm and inviting. The graphical interface, like the interior themes in Lucid Air, are inspired by the warmth and light of Lucid\u2019s design home in California. In fact, even the colors shown on digital displays are perfectly color-matched to the fabrics and trims. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Lucid believes that the mode of interaction should truly fit the task. Working in close collaboration throughout the development process, interior designers and software engineers jointly identified a set of features and interactions that would be best served with dedicated physical touchpoints, such as climate controls and window switches. These are operated with physical controls on the dashboard, doors, and steering wheel that are crafted to look beautiful, feel solid, and still provide clear tactile feedback. To this end, a single toggle switch or roller in the Lucid Air could go through over 100 iterations of different shape, weighting, damping, and detent placement as part of fine-tuning the tactile feedback for the user. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

This concept of unifying digital and physical also extends to the 21-speaker Surreal Sound system, featuring the world\u2019s first integration of Dolby Atmos. By directing sound with precision throughout the interior of Lucid Air, this technology not only creates an incredible in-car audio experience, but takes it a step further to deliver directional auditory cues for alerts, notifications, and warnings to the driver and passengers. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Key partnerships are reflected in Lucid UX that give users a range of options, both in terms of content and control. Users can control many vehicle features simply by speaking, thanks to  Alexa Built-in, the best-in-class voice AI. Lucid has also worked with outside tech companies to bring their popular features into the Lucid Air. Apple CarPlay\u00ae, for example, will be available with a wireless connection. For Android users, Android Auto\u2122will also be offered. In addition, several music services \u2013 including Spotify and iHeartRadio \u2013 can be controlled directly from the vehicle dash. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
