Lucid Motors has announced the rollout of a software update for its Gravity SUV, bringing Apple CarPlay and Android Auto functionality to North American owners starting Thursday. Customers in Europe and the Middle East can expect the update by late March. This update marks a significant milestone for the company, following initial software challenges faced by the electric SUV.
While features like Apple CarPlay and Android Auto were already available on Lucid Motors’ Lucid Air sedan, the company encountered software issues with the Gravity SUV early on. In response, the company made organizational changes, including the departure of key software executives and a recent layoff affecting 12% of its workforce.
Notably, this software update coincides with Lucid Motors’ investor day in New York City, where the company is expected to discuss its upcoming mid-size EV platform, profitability strategies, and the anticipated launch of a luxury robotaxi service in partnership with Uber and Nuro.
