"First, Lucid will roll out a more advanced version of its partially automated driving assist for the Gravity SUV, which it says has been "turbocharged by Nvidia Drive AV." But after that, the plan is for a so-called "level 4" autonomous system, capable of driving itself from point to point without human intervention, at least within a geofence or other limited operational design domain."
"And leaning on Nvidia's software means Lucid doesn't have the hard ongoing job of keeping everything up to date. " As vehicles evolve into software-defined supercomputers on wheels, a new opportunity emerges-to reimagine mobility with intelligence at every turn. Together with Lucid, we're accelerating the future of autonomous, AI-powered transportation, built on [the] Nvidia full-stack automotive platform," said Jensen Huang, founder and CEO of Nvidia."
Lucid will introduce an enhanced partially automated driving assist for the Gravity SUV using Nvidia Drive AV, then pursue a Level 4 autonomous system that can drive point-to-point within a geofence. The Level 4 approach targets limited operational domains and is more achievable than a go-anywhere Level 5 system, resembling efforts by Waymo and Zoox that are designed for fleet operation. Lucid will integrate a pair of Nvidia Drive AGX Thor computers into a new midsize EV platform and rely on Nvidia's software stack for ongoing updates. Nvidia's industrial platform will enable digital modeling of production lines before hardware deployment, improving manufacturing efficiency and reducing costs, while Lucid aims to monetize advanced hands-off driving features.
