Defect Description:
FORWARD COLLISION AVOIDANCE: AUTOMATIC EMERGENCY BRAKING
Potential Consequences:
The Lucid Air Touring rapidly accelerated from a full stop in a line of cars. (The traffic hold up was due to a road striping crew that stopped traffic.) My wife was the driver and I was in the passenger seat and the car was in drive/hold mode before suddenly taking off; the car in front of us was about 20' ahead. In spite of my wife's attempt to stop the vehicle, it would not stop until it hit the vehicle in front of us and pushed it into the vehicle in front of it. Additionally, the vehicle's built-in safety features to brake automatically in such a situation did not work. There was no pre-collision braking, no warning and no other automatic safety features activated. My wife is an excellent and experienced driver and drives frequently in heavy traffic without incident.

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
Potential Consequences:
On one occasion, with the shifter set to reverse, pressing on the accelerator resulted in the car lurching forward. This problem first appeared in April 2023. I do not know if this is a drive problem, software problem, or something else. My safety was put at risk as I nearly hit the back wall of the garage. I have reported this problem to Lucid some time ago but Lucid has not responded. Neither Lucid nor any other entity has attempted to inspect or make any corrections. There were no warnings or symptoms from the car prior to the problem. Some other Lucid owners have reportedly experienced similar problems.

Defect Description:
UNKNOWN OR OTHER
Potential Consequences:
On several occasions, the vehicle's driver assistance systems (specifically the "keep hands on the wheel" and "keep eyes on the road" warnings) have malfunctioned during normal driving, producing continuous, distracting audible alerts that persist until the car is parked and restarted. Of note, these warnings appeared during freeway driving despite having both hands on the wheel and both eyes on the road. My safety and the safety of others was put at risk by having an unresolvable visual and audible distraction that interfered with driving in freeway conditions. I have reported this issue to Lucid some time ago but have not received any response from the company. Therefore, the dealer has not attempted to reproduce the issue, and there is not an independent service center for Lucid vehicles. Accordingly, the vehicle has not been inspected by any company or agency. There were no warnings prior to the malfunction. This issue first began to appear in or around late April 2023 and have occurred on 7 or 8 occasions since then, always while driving on the freeway. I have tried various strategies to resolve the intrusive alerts while the vehicle in motion but have been unable to do without unreasonably compromising my safety and ability to pay attention to the road and other drivers. The shifter, steering, accelerator, and brakes appear to work normally during these alerts.

FORWARD COLLISION AVOIDANCE: ADAPTIVE CRUISE CONTROL
Potential Consequences:
Tried to Auto Park the car and almost hit my other car. It didn't recognize the fender of the Tesla. I had to push on brake. I have only tried auto park once. I am pretty sure it would have hit my Tesla. With highway drive assist and steering Icon yellow, the car doesn't maintain the lane and swirl and drifts into the next lane without warning. The color of the steering Icon does change white. This has happened several times mostly as the freeway curves. Once I am able to bring the car back into the lane the steering Icon turn yellow itself, without any intervention from me. As a person is driving and focusing on the road it is not possible to look to the icon. It not only gives false sense of security but also drift is worse then lane assist without drive assist. With lane assist it at least chimes and gives a red color when the car is drifting. current functionality is either faulty or counterintuitive and risky for self and public.

The color of the steering Icon does change white. This has happened several times mostly as the freeway curves. Once I am able to bring the car back into the lane the steering Icon turn yellow itself, without any intervention from me. As a person is driving and focusing on the road it is not possible to look to the icon. It not only gives false sense of security but also drift is worse then lane assist without drive assist. With lane assist it at least chimes and gives a red color when the car is drifting. current functionality is either faulty or counterintuitive and risky for self and public.
Additional Notes:
Tried to Auto Park the car and almost hit my other car. It didn't recognize the fender of the Tesla. I had to push on brake. I have only tried auto park once. I am pretty sure it would have hit my Tesla. With highway drive assist and steering Icon yellow, the car doesn't maintain the lane and swirl and drifts into the next lane without warning.
