Carty founded and managed his own technical and management consulting business which counted Lucid's Infotainment Software team among its clients. He worked for Apple for a total of 23 years, during which he held a number of managerial and directorial roles dealing with firmware and systems controls plus helping to deliver software for new Macs.

Under the guidance of the new VP Lucid plans to put out over-the-air updates to improve the Air's advanced driver assistance systems, audio architecture, IOS/Android framework, embedded software and hardware controls as well as systems and software architecture.Ĭarty brings decades of global experience to the Lucid ranks with special expertise in the areas of software development and user interface systems.

Carty will lead a range of software-focused development teams and will report to Michael Bell, Lucid's Senior VP of Digital. Lucid has appointed Derrick Carty as its Vice President of Platform Software Engineering, a newly created role which it hopes to leverage in working out bugs and issues with the Lucid Air's systems.
