As Lucid Motors claims, this is the world’s first automotive integration of Dolby Atmos. The audio system is claimed to have increased the overall safety of the vehicle with enhanced driver aids that feature directional acoustic signaling of notifications, warnings, and all other driver and passenger alerts.

The audio system integrates multiple front, rear, side, and height speakers. As Lucid Motors claims, the audio system is positioned in a manner that allows the driver and passengers to feel the relative movement of individual sounds as they move around the cabin. It also claims that the speaker system was tuned and perfected for the space of the Lucid Air using the Capitol Records Studio C recording studio as the reference design.
