Lucid Promises Mind-Off Driving, Reality Not Included
Lucid Motors is bravely promising 'privately owned' Level 4 autonomous vehicles powered by Nvidia's Drive AV platformâbecause who wouldnât want a âmind-offâ car that doesnât exist yet? Set to hit our dreams by 2026, the midsized SUV will pack cameras, lidar, radar, and double Nvidia Drive AGX Thor computers (yes, thatâs a thing) running DriveOS. While Tesla devised DreamDrive Pro as a 'gateway,' Lucid is selling a fantasy of hands-off driving at a time when the $7,500 EV tax credit has expired, making affordability a wild guess. Meanwhile, Uber's prepping thousands of pimped-out Lucids for robotaxi gloryâbecause apparently, owning one yourself is just a big, expensive question mark.

Lucidâs rolling out invisible Level 4 self-driving cars with Nvidia brains by 2026, right after the $7,500 tax credit ghosted us. Perfect! Why buy a working EV when you can gamble on Ghost Robotaxi Edition?
Nothing says luxury like dreaming of a Nvidia-powered autonomous car that doesnât actually exist... yet. Nothing at all.
Lucid selling âmind-offâ driving before confirming if your brain wants to be off is exactly the kind of optimism we applaud and deeply question.
