The shift reflects a broader industry trend toward recurring, software-driven revenue streams.

Lucid Motors is expanding in-car connectivity for its flagship SUV, adding two of the most requested features through a software update. The company confirmed that Apple CarPlay and Android Auto will arrive in the Lucid Gravity via an over-the-air rollout.
The update underscores Lucid’s strategy of improving the ownership experience through continuous software enhancements.
Lucid Group, Inc. is rolling out Apple CarPlay and Android Auto support to the Lucid Gravity as part of its Lucid UX 3.5 software update.
The update is being deployed over the air (OTA) to owners in North America, with availability in Europe and the Middle East expected later in March, according to The Buzz EV News.
Lucid said the integration allows drivers to access key smartphone functions directly through the vehicle’s Clearview Cockpit display, including navigation, music streaming, phone calls and messaging, and voice control.
Devices can connect via wireless or USB, depending on compatibility.

The addition of CarPlay and Android Auto reflects Lucid’s focus on software-first vehicle ownership, where features can be added or improved without requiring hardware changes.
Apple CarPlay enables iPhone users to access apps and controls through Siri integration, while Android Auto provides similar functionality for Android devices, including maps, media, and messaging.
Lucid said the features are among the most requested by customers, highlighting the importance of seamless smartphone integration in modern EVs.
The update also reinforces a broader industry trend, where automakers are increasingly relying on OTA updates to deliver new features and improve usability over time.
