AI Summary (Processed Content)

Lucid Motors is rolling out a software update for its Gravity SUV in North America to enable Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, with Europe and the Middle East receiving it later. This follows software issues with the new vehicle that prompted an apology from the interim CEO, amid broader company restructuring including layoffs and the departure of software leaders.

The update coincides with an investor day where Lucid plans to discuss its future mid-size EV platform, path to profitability, and a planned luxury robotaxi service with Uber and Nuro.

The main topics covered are a software update for phone-mirroring features, past software problems and company restructuring, and future business plans for investor day.

Lucid Motors will ship a software update to North American owners of its Gravity SUV on Thursday that will enable Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, the company announced Wednesday morning. Owners in Europe and the Middle East will receive the update in “late March.”
The phone-mirroring features have previously been available on Lucid Motors’ sedan, the Lucid Air. But the company has spent the early months of the newer Gravity SUV ironing out a number of software issues, which became a significant enough crisis that Lucid Motors’ interim CEO apologized to owners. The company recently let a number of its top software leaders go, and last month it moved to lay off 12% of its workforce, as TechCrunch first reported.
The new software update comes on the same day that Lucid Motors is set to hold an investor day in New York City, where the company plans to talk about its upcoming mid-size EV platform, its path to profitability, and the launch of its luxury robotaxi service with Uber and Nuro.
