Lucid began pushing software version 3.6.4 to Gravity owners on Tuesday, an update whose release notes address the driver monitoring camera that had been blocking hands-free driving on an unspecified number of vehicles.
The release summary tells owners the update improves the reliability of the Gravity’s driver monitoring camera and key fob detection.
Under Drive Assist, the notes state that Lucid has improved the camera’s reliability “so that features that depend on driver awareness, including Hands-Free Drive Assist, work as expected” — the closest the company has come to acknowledging the fault publicly.
A second section covers vehicle access, with the company saying the Gravity now detects the key fob more consistently both inside and outside the vehicle.
The update carries an estimated installation time of one hour and requires the vehicle to be shifted into park.
What It Fixes
As EV reported on Monday, a software bug tied to eye tracking was preventing hands-free driving from engaging on a set of Gravity SUVs, according to Kyle Conner, founder of the automotive channel Out of Spec, whose loaner Grand Touring was among them.
Eye tracking is the mechanism the feature depends on, since hands-free operation requires interior driver-monitoring cameras to confirm the driver is watching the road.
Without that confirmation the system cannot release the driver’s hands, leaving the hands-on version of lane centering that ships on every Gravity as the only steering assistance available.
Conner posted images of the update prompt and the 3.6.4 release notes on Tuesday.
He returned to it the same day with a photograph taken from the driver’s seat, writing that hands-free highway assist had been working great since the update.
“Lucid Hands-free highway assist has been working great since this update,” he wrote.
The Saudi-backed EV maker has not said how many cars carried the bug.
What It Does Not Address
As of publication time, EV had not seen the full release notes, and it remains unclear whether 3.6.4 covers changes beyond the driver-monitoring camera and key fob detection.
The sections that are visible make no reference to the separate lane centering fault Conner reported on the same trip, in which the system engaged and then steered erratically for the length of a drive into Aspen, Colorado, before recovering after the vehicle was left overnight.
The lane centering incident remains unexplained publicly.
A Fast Turnaround
Version 3.6.4 arrives eleven days after 3.6.3, which was released on July 31, and about ten weeks after the UX 3.6 release that delivered hands-free driving to the Gravity on June 8.
Hands-free driving is the capability that justifies DreamDrive 2 Pro, a $6,750 option available from the Touring trim upward that adds LiDAR, a 32-sensor array and 14 cameras against six, and the 3.6.4 notes repeat that the feature is confined to that package.
The Feature’s Record
Lucid delivered hands-free driving to the Air sedan in July 2025, telling owners then that the Gravity would follow later that year.
That deadline passed, and VP of Communications Nick Twork acknowledged the slip on X in January, writing that the company had prioritized other software updates.
In April the 2027 model-year configurator showed a third-quarter target, which Lucid then told EV was a mistake and corrected to the second quarter, after EV had reported the delay.
The June release landed roughly eleven months behind the Air.
Lucid confirmed to WardsAuto in June that the system operates on approximately 125,000 miles of roads across the United States and Canada, against more than 600,000 for General Motors’ Super Cruise and roughly 130,000 for Ford’s BlueCruise.
Hands-free driving has not been enabled outside North America.
