Lucid, the Saudi-backed electric vehicle startup, has announced a new collaboration with Nvidia to create an autonomous vehicle for consumers. The partnership aims to utilize Nvidia's hardware and software to develop a cutting-edge AI-powered system that can enable vehicles to drive themselves without human intervention.

The new system is designed to be more advanced than the partially automated driving assist currently available on Lucid's Gravity SUV, which has been "turbocharged" by Nvidia Drive AV. The planned "level 4" autonomous system will be capable of navigating from point to point within a geofenced operational design domain, and is similar to systems being developed by companies like Waymo and Zoox.

The partnership between Lucid and Nvidia could bring significant benefits for both parties. For consumers, the advanced system could provide a seamless driving experience with minimal human intervention, making it an attractive option for busy professionals or those who are new to driving. On the other hand, Lucid stands to gain from the potential revenue streams generated by the sale of its autonomous vehicles, while Nvidia can leverage its industrial platform to enable Lucid's production lines to be designed digitally before being built.

However, there is a catch: Lucid will need to start selling tens of thousands of EVs per year in order to become profitable. This means that smaller, cheaper models will need to be part of the company's strategy, with a starting price of less than $50,000 for its midsize crossover vehicle, set to launch in 2027.

The success of this partnership hinges on several factors, including the ability to market and sell autonomous vehicles to consumers, as well as the scalability of Nvidia's industrial platform. If Lucid can successfully execute its strategy, it could become a leader in the autonomous vehicle space, providing a valuable service to consumers while generating significant revenue for the company.

But will it be enough? Only time will tell if Lucid's partnership with Nvidia is enough to propel the company into profitability and establish itself as a major player in the electric vehicle market.
 
I'm low-key excited about this collab between Lucid and Nvidia 🤩. Autonomous cars are gonna change the game, but let's be real, we're still talking about mass production here 🚗💸. I mean, tens of thousands of EVs per year? That's a big ask for Lucid, especially with those entry-level prices 🤑. Can they make it work? We'll have to see how they market and sell these fancy rides to the masses 📺.

It's interesting that Nvidia is bringing their industrial platform to the table, though 💻. That should help Lucid streamline production and make these vehicles more affordable. Fingers crossed for Lucid, but I'm also kinda skeptical about this whole thing 🤔. Time will tell if it's enough to put them on the map 💡.
 
omg i'm so hyped about this collab!!! 🤩 lucid is literally changing the game with their new autonomous system and i cant wait to get my hands on that midsize crossover for like $50k or less 💸 it's gonna be a total game changer for busy pros and newbies alike, plus think of all the revenue streams lucid will make from selling these bad boys 🤑 Nvidia is genius for coming on board too, their hardware and software combo is gonna take autonomous driving to the next level 🚀 i'm low-key rooting for lucid to crush it in this space and become a major player in evs 🚗💨
 
I'm a bit skeptical about this new collaboration between Lucid and Nvidia 🤔. On one hand, an AI-powered autonomous system sounds like a game-changer for consumers, especially busy professionals who don't have time to drive themselves around. But on the other hand, it's going to be tough for Lucid to sell tens of thousands of EVs per year, especially with the competition from established brands 🚗.

I think smaller, cheaper models are definitely part of the strategy here, but $50,000 is still a pretty steep price tag 🤑. And what about the marketability of autonomous vehicles? Are consumers really going to jump at the chance to buy a self-driving car without having to understand how it works? 🤔

I guess we'll just have to wait and see if Lucid can execute its strategy successfully 💪. One thing's for sure, though - this partnership is definitely going to be interesting to watch 👀.
 
I think this partnership between Lucid and Nvidia is super exciting 🤩! I mean, can you imagine driving around without having to touch the wheel? It sounds like science fiction right now, but with companies like these working together, it's definitely possible. The fact that Lucid needs to sell a lot of EVs per year to become profitable does seem like a big ask, though 🤑. I hope they can make it happen and bring down the price point for those smaller models – $50,000 is still pretty steep for some people. But if Nvidia's industrial platform can help Lucid streamline its production lines, that could be a game-changer 💻. It'll be interesting to see how this all plays out in the next few years 🚗🤔
 
OMG 💥 like i cant even believe lucid just partnered with nvidia!! this is gonna be HUGE 🔥 for both companies, esp lucid! they're gonna change the game with their autonomous vehicles 🚗💨 and make it so easy to drive without having to do anything 🤩. but i gotta say, its a bit worrying that lucid needs to sell like 10k evs per year just to be profitable 🤑. thats a lot of pressure! but idk, if they can get the word out and market it right, i think they'll be fine 💪. nvidia's tech is so advanced 🤓, i'm sure they can make it happen 🎉. and can you imagine driving around in an autonomous vehicle without having to lift a finger 😴?! its like science fiction come true!
 
I'm kinda excited about this new collab between Lucid and Nvidia 😊. I mean, who doesn't want a fully autonomous ride without having to worry about traffic or parking? It's like having your own personal chauffeur 🚗💨. But at the same time, I gotta wonder if they're thinking about the price point 💸. $50k is still pretty steep for a midsize crossover 🤔. And what about the charging infrastructure? We need to make sure that there are plenty of fast-charging stations popping up everywhere ⚡️. But hey, fingers crossed for Lucid and Nvidia! Maybe they'll be able to revolutionize the EV game and make it more accessible to everyone 🚀💥.
 
I'm so stoked about this new collab between Lucid and Nvidia! 🚀 I think autonomous vehicles are gonna be a game changer, especially for busy people who don't wanna drive all the time. It's like, imagine being able to work or relax while your car takes you wherever you need to go - it's just so cool!

But, on a more serious note, Lucid needs to make sure they're pricing their cars right, 'cause $50k is still kinda steep for some people. And I don't think Nvidia's industrial platform can handle that many EVs per year, at least not without some major upgrades.

I'm also a bit worried about safety, but I guess that's what these companies are working on - developing super advanced AI systems that can handle all sorts of scenarios on the road. Fingers crossed it all comes together and we get some amazing autonomous vehicles out there! 🚗💻
