======================================================================UX 3.3 
boosts towing capacity and offers new camera features Event Recording acts

when parked 

Owners of Lucid Motors high-tech Gravity SUV will receive an over-the-air 
update that brings some impressive new features. 

Dubbed UX 3.3, the upgraded operating system now offers the ability for users 
to pin destinations in the navigation, while the map itself has been tweaked 
to give a better indication of the distance it is possible to travel on the 
EVs remaining charge. 

According to the Californian company, the audio system has also been 
optimized to reduce the background noise when making and taking calls. 

But perhaps most interesting of all is the introduction of a Live View 
function that harnesses the power of the numerous external cameras to stream 
live footage to Lucids smartphone app. 

The software is in Beta and Gravity owners can trial it for free until the 
end of the year. Theres no word on the cost after that. 

This feeds into the brands latest Halo Secure Function, which is lifted 
straight from the Tesla playbook and allows owners to monitor the vehicle 
remotely via the app. 

In addition to this, Drive Recorder also acts as a built-in dash cam. So long 
as the user hooks up an external storage device, such as a USB dongle or 
portable hard drive, the Gravity will automatically record and save any 
significant events, such as extreme or sudden braking, sharp steering inputs 
or a collision  all assisted by the various onboard sensors. 

Its a feature that has been heavily influenced by Teslas pioneering use of 
the Autopilot cameras, which can also save footage to a USB device either 
manually, or automatically when an incident is detected by the companys 
sensors. Pulling power (Image credit: Lucid Motors) 

The Lucid Gravity can handle a max towing capacity of 6,000lbs, which isnt up 
there with Rivians R1T or the various electric pick-ups on the market, but it 
is good enough for transporting lighter lifestyle accessories (boats, jet 
skis, motorcycles etc). 

Lucid knows that its a big selling point so has also introduced a number of 
enhanced towing features, including a new Tow Mode that optimizes the vehicle 
settings for maximum performance and comfort. 

Theres also integrated trailer braking control for those trailers equipped 
with electronic brakes and a special camera view in the Rear View Monitor 
that allows owners to keep an eye on their prized possessions when towing. 

According to the Lucid owner's group , these updates can be activated with a 
simple OTA update, proving once again that Software Defined Vehicles 
genuinely improve with age. You might also like The Lucid Air just broke the
