Lucid Motors' first EV will come with LIDAR driving assistance as standard

Lucid may not have been able to unveil the production version of its luxury electric sedan just yet, but it's hoping some explanation of its features will get your appetite whetted. Today, the company is teasing the various Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS), uh, systems, that'll feature in the Lucid Air. The ADAS platform has been dubbed "DreamDrive," which includes 32 sensors, including camera and radar, plus those monitoring the driver. Of more importance to us, and fans of self-driving cars, is the inclusion of LIDAR as standard, which Lucid will make the car "future-proofed." The company says that when the Air launches, it'll come with 19 of a planned list of 27 ADAS goodies, with the remaining eight coming over-the-air.
