Lucid's New Hands-Free Driving Mode Will Change Lanes for You
The update includes a hands-free driving mode with the ability to change lanes when the driver activates the turn signal
The Lucid Gravity SUV will be eligible for the same OTA update sometime later this year.
Lucid has announced a major update to its driver-assistance technology. Starting on July 30, anyone who owns an Air sedan with the optional DreamDrive Pro package can unlock a new hands-free driving mode via an over-the-air update.
Along with the introduction of what Lucid calls Hands-Free Drive Assist, which uses the vehicle's LiDAR, radar, visible light cameras, surround-view cameras, and ultrasonic sensors to control the vehicle on compatible highways, the OTA update will also allow the car to change lanes for you. Of course, you'll have to tell it to do so by activating the turn signal.

"With our in-house software stack, a comprehensive suite of 32 sensors, and regular OTA updates, we have a road map to continue to deliver significantly more functionality to our owners in the future,' said Kai Stepper, vice president of ADAS and AD at Lucid.
While the hands-free update is free, it requires that the Lucid Air is already equipped with DreamDrive Pro. The price of this option varies among 2025 models. On the entry-level rear-wheel-drive Pure model, which starts at $71,400, DreamDrive Pro costs $6750 and requires the $2500 Comfort and Convenience package, so it essentially costs $9250. The same handcuffing applies to the Air's all-wheel-drive Touring trim, which starts at $80,400; DreamDrive Pro and Co. costs $9750. The Grand Touring AWD starts at $112,400, and DreamDrive Pro is a $6750 standalone option. The top-of-the-line Sapphire has standard DreamDrive Pro, but it also starts at $250,500.

The Gravity SUV will also be eligible for the free over-the-air update, but Lucid hasn't yet announced a specific release date. However, the automaker said it will be available sometime later this year.

JPMorgan Partners With Coinbase To Expand Crypto Access For 80M Customers
JPMorgan Chase (NYSE:JPM), the largest U.S. bank with over $4 trillion in assets, has partnered with Coinbase (NASDAQ:COIN) to roll out a suite of crypto access features for its 80 million-plus customers, the companies announced on July 30. What Happened: Under the partnership, JPMorgan customers will soon be able to: Use Chase credit cards to fund Coinbase purchases, Redeem Chase Ultimate Rewards points for USDC, a U.S. dollar-pegged stablecoin, and Link Chase bank accounts directly to Coinbase for streamlined crypto transactions. Coinbase says the rollout will begin in fall 2025, with points-to-USDC redemption and bank integration scheduled for 2026. This collaboration signals growing comfort among major financial institutions in offering regulated access to crypto services. Also Read: Why It Matters: JPMorgan has previously maintained a cautious but steadily evolving approach to the crypto sector. CEO Jamie Dimon has publicly criticized Bitcoin (CRYPTO: BTC) in the past, but under his leadership, the firm has gradually integrated blockchain solutions and participated in digital asset pilots via Onyx, its blockchain division. In 2020, JPMorgan began providing banking services to Coinbase and Gemini, signaling an early move into the crypto sector. In May 2025, the bank settled its first transaction on a public blockchain, partnering with Chainlink (CRYPTO: LINK) and Ondo Finance (CRYPTO: ONDO). In June 2025, JPMorgan launched JPMD, a deposit token on Coinbase's Base blockchain, designed for institutional clients to facilitate 24/7 settlements and cross-border payments. The partnership with Coinbase, the largest publicly traded U.S. crypto exchange, brings JPMorgan's retail clients into direct contact with crypto markets through stablecoins, credit integration, and loyalty rewards. The new program will allow users to convert Chase Ultimate Rewards into USDC on Coinbase's Layer 2 network, Base, marking the first time a major U.S. rewards program has enabled point-to-crypto conversion. Coinbase described the collaboration as part of its broader effort to bridge traditional finance with crypto, offering seamless onramps for millions of users.
