Stellantis acquires AiMotive, an autonomous driving software startup

The maker of Jeep SUVs and Ram pickup trucks said Thursday it will acquire AiMotive, a startup for artificial intelligence and autonomous driving software.

It's a move, Stellantis NV said in a news release, to accelerate the development of the STLA AutoDrive platform it announced almost a year ago. That technology is said to launch in 2024 and is meant to work with Stellantis' two other software platforms to offer Level 2 and 3 automated driving functions, including hands-free applications.

"Acquiring aiMotive's world-class artificial intelligence and autonomous driving technology is an important contribution to becoming a sustainable mobility tech company," Yves Bonnefont, Stellantis' chief software officer, said in a statement. "AiMotive's class-leading expertise and startup spirit will accelerate our journey to deliver our Dare Forward 2030 goals."
