Lucid’s latest Gravity OTA update promises improved quality of life for owners.
When the 2026 Lucid Gravity launched, it was glitchy, quirky, and limited to the hands-on version of Lucid’s Dream Drive software. Since then, Lucid has steadily improved the all-electric SUV through over-the-air updates. Now, the company delivers one of the Gravity’s most meaningful upgrades yet. As of now, Lucid is rolling out a new OTA update that gives Dream Drive 2 Pro hands-free capability for most highway driving tasks. The update also brings meaningful improvements to navigation, charging, and everyday usability.
The biggest news is the arrival of hands-free SAE Level 2++ capability on North American highways, a feature the Lucid Air already had. Yes, the Gravity could already steer, accelerate, and brake on its own, but it still required its driver to keep both hands on the wheel. That changes with this update as the system now supports driver-initiated hands-free lane changes and can also execute passing maneuvers around slower traffic through Automatic Lane Change, all without driver input. Drivers still need to remain attentive, because this is not fully self-driving tech.
