Lucid Motors will use Nvidia's auto-grade computer chips in its vehicles to enable advanced driver assistance and autonomous driving features, the companies announced Tuesday. The automaker's current and future lineup will be built on Nvidia's end-to-end Drive Hyperion platform. Hyperion is the latest iteration of Nvidia's Drive platform that allows automakers to customize their own driving features. This new hardware will form the basis for a new suite of driving features, including advanced driver-assistance systems (ADAS), automated parking, and autonomous driving, the companies said. Lucid released its first EV, the Lucid Air, last year and is already working on a follow-up: a long-range electric SUV code-named Project Gravity.

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.
