The companies planned to develop features that would make the cars feel like an extension of the home, detecting the driver and personalizing settings such as the thermostat, navigation, and even home automation, like turning on lights.

Stellantis’s CEO, Carlos Tavares, had announced the plan in 2022. However, Tavares left the automaker abruptly in 2024, and the company on Wednesday named Antonio Filosa, its North American chief, as its new CEO.

Stellantis stock plunged 54% in the last 12 months as it grappled with disappointing sales, especially in North America, coupled with additional headwinds from the Trump administration’s tariff policies.

Stellantis had earlier announced plans to migrate some production away from Mexico to Michigan to offset the uncertainty posed by the tariffs. The company had also pulled its earnings guidance for 2025.

President Trump threatened to impose a 50% tariff on all European Union imports beginning June 1. A 50% tariff could make Stellantis models significantly less competitive versus U.S.-produced alternatives, especially since Trump’s plan would exempt domestically produced goods.
