Lucid (LCID) EV Drivers Can Now Wake Their New AI Assistant With 'Hey Lucid'

If you own a Lucid EV, try saying "Hey Lucid" next time you drive it and see what happens. Lucid (LCID) launched a new AI assistant that allows you to interact with your vehicle in new ways. Here's how it works.

The new Lucid Assistant is a hands-free voice assistant Like Amazon's Alexa or Apple Siri, drivers can wake up their new AI assistant by saying, "Hey, Lucid." From there, they can ask almost any question about sports, stocks, weather, etc., and get a response in real-time. The assistant also enables them to control various features, such as Navigation. Have a question about your EV? With access to its full manual, you can also ask it anything about the vehicle's functionality. Many Lucid Assistant features can be used without a cellular connection.

He added that with frequent OTA updates, "Lucid Assistant can grow" with new functions and capabilities. Lucid Air Pure interior (Source: Lucid) SounHound AI's COO, Michael Zagorsek, boasted, "We believe that SoundHound's best-in-class voice technology opens up unlimited new opportunities for both drivers and OEMs, and will fundamentally change the way we interact with our vehicles into the future. The company uses a proprietary approach to reduce the risk of "AI hallucinations" or misleading responses that many LLM (Large Language Models) use. Instead, its technology ensures that the assistant uses the correct response from the most appropriate domain, such as generative AI or real-time. Lucid had its third straight quarter with record EV deliveries in Q3. It also just launched its first electric SUV, the Gravity. The company will report Q4 and 2024 delivery numbers shortly, so stay tuned for more. After securing a partnership to supply its advanced EV powertrain tech to Aston Martin in 2023, Lucid's CEO Peter Rawlinson said the company is in active talks with "a couple" of automakers last month over similar partnerships.

Reddit's AI-Powered Ads To Highlight Positive Community Comments

Aiming to transform user-generated content into actionable marketing ads, Reddit unveiled its "Community Intelligence" suite this week at the Cannes Lions International Festival of Creativity. This AI-powered platform promises to redefine how advertisers connect with their audiences by leveraging the vast and real (and only positive) conversations happening across Reddit's nearly two decades of posts and comments.

At the core of Reddit Community Intelligence are two new products, both currently in alpha testing—Reddit Insights and Conversation Summary Add-ons:

Reddit Insights acts as an AI-driven social listening tool, sifting through Reddit's massive archive of over 22 billion posts and comments to deliver real-time, targeted insights to marketers. The goal is for any brand to be able to instantly gauge public sentiment on a new product, identify emerging cultural trends, or even test creative concepts before launching a full-blown campaign—all by using unfiltered Redditors opinions, for better or for worse.

Conversation Summary Add-ons integrates positive, relevant user discussions directly beneath brand advertisements. This means that, say, a car advertisement might feature a succinct, AI-generated summary of Redditors' positive experiences with the vehicle, alongside links to the original discussions. Early tests for this feature have shown a 19% higher click-through rate compared to standard image ads. Electric vehicle maker Lucid, an early adopter, used the add-ons to highlight discussions about their Lucid Air and Gravity SUV, providing potential customers with genuine peer perspectives.

Reddit's move into AI-powered advertising comes as the platform, which celebrated its 20th anniversary this year, faces increasing pressure to demonstrate its advertising viability following its March 2024 IPO. While competitors like Meta and TikTok rely on complex algorithms for ad creation and targeting, Reddit is hoping to carve out a niche by emphasizing authentic data-driven ads at scale.

Jen Wong, Reddit's Chief Operating Officer, articulated the company's vision at Cannes, stating, "In a world increasingly flattened by AI, the value of human content on our platform only grows. With Reddit Community Intelligence, we're not just surfacing insights and conversations; we're offering deep context, perspective, and the voice of real people at scale." The success of Reddit Community Intelligence will hinge on the company's ability to balance its commercial aspirations with the unique, community-driven essence that defines the platform.
