Amazon's In-Car Technology Deal With Stellantis Is Dead
In early 2022, Stellantis announced that it would work with Amazon to develop new software for the automaker's vehicles. That included technology for the cabin and infotainment experience. It was called SmartCockpit , and it was supposed to arrive in vehicles starting in 2024. However, that deadline came and went without the software, and now we know why—Amazon and Stellantis are ending their SmartCockpit collaboration. Both companies confirmed to Reuters that they were "winding down" SmartCockpit development. Neither company told the publication the reason for the mutual decision; however, they said in a statement that this would allow the companies to "focus on solutions that provide value to our shared customers and better align with our evolving strategies." In 2022, Stellantis said that SmartCockpit would run in millions of Stellantis vehicles globally beginning last year. It was supposed to "integrate with customers' digital lives" and create a personalized experience with AI-enhanced apps, Alexa-enabled voice controls, and other tech-centric features. Stellantis claimed that SmartCockpit would adapt to a driver's behaviors and interests, as well as work with other Amazon services. The SmartCockpit project is just one example of automakers reaching out to tech companies for help in developing software, as some of them have struggled. Volkswagen has had serious issues with software that delayed several projects . Amazon is just one company fighting to control your vehicle's screens. Google Built-In (not to be confused with Android Auto) is already in many vehicles, including those of General Motors, Ford, Honda, Volvo, and others. Apple wants to solidify its dominance with its CarPlay Ultra , which takes over every screen in a car. It recently launched on Aston Martins.

Stock Movers: Tesla, Applied Digital, Steelmakers
On this episode of Stock Movers: Listen for comprehensive cross-platform coverage of the US market close as heard on Bloomberg Television, Bloomberg Radio, and YouTube with Romaine Bostick, Scarlet Fu, Tim Stenovec and Emily Graffeo. - Shares of Steel Dynamics (STLD) rose along with other US-based steelmakers as traders continued to react to President Donald Trump's Friday announcement of higher tariffs on steel and aluminum. Trump hopes the increased levies will protect margins for domestic mills and spur investment in new production capacity, and shares of US steel and aluminum makers surged in after-hours trading after the announcement on Friday. But construction companies have warned that levies on steel and aluminum — which Trump had already raised from 10% to 25% — will increase the cost of critical building materials. - Tesla (TSLA) shares fell on word that new-vehicle registrations plunged to an almost three-year low in France. The automaker sold only 721 cars in May, down 67% from a year earlier, according to French industry association Plateforme Automobile. Tesla's registrations were the lowest since July 2022, despite the company rolling out a redesigned version of its most popular vehicle, the Model Y. Musk recently denied the need for a plan to improve Tesla's fortunes, telling Bloomberg News in a May 20 interview that the company had 'already turned around.' While the CEO claimed Tesla was seeing sales decline along with every other carmaker in Europe, manufacturers including Volkswagen AG, Renault SA and BMW AG increased deliveries in the first four months of the year. - Applied Digital (APLD) shares rose as much as 45% today, in its biggest intraday jump since September, after the company enter into two lease agreements with CoreWeave.

Former Endurance Racing Boss Gerard Neveu Takes Retromobile to New York
The former CEO of the FIA World Endurance Championship, Gerard Neveu, has taken on the role of CEO of Retromobile US, the first expansion of Paris' celebrated annual gathering of car collectors, vendors and enthusiasts. The 60 year-old Frenchman will steer the organizing team for the event at New York's Javits Center from November 19-22 next year. After 25 years in the motorsport and automotive industries, Neveu has an extensive contacts book and a deep experience of staging international events and operating in the US market. During his decade at the helm of WEC, he laid the groundwork for the championship as it is today, with hybrid technology attracting multiple manufacturers. Neveu was also one of the key protagonists in the convergence of regulations between the US based International Motor Sports Association (IMSA, owned by NASCAR) and the Automobile Club de l'Ouest (ACO, owner of WEC and founder of the 24 Hours of Le Mans). Prior to WEC he served as the Director of Paul Ricard Circuit in the South of France. Retromobile Paris celebrates its 50th anniversary next year, and the New York show aims to capitalize on the burgeoning US classic car scene, where more than 50% of the global collectors' cars market is concentrated. Neveu's first moves in the role have been to secure 400,000 square feet in four halls in Javits Center and strike an auction partnership with Gooding Christie's. 'The concept of Retromobile is special,' says Neveu. 'You find both the biggest car collectors and vendors from all around the world at the same time, plus manufacturers and brokers. You also have a fan community attending the event, who can live out their dreams, see cars and people which may bring back precious memories. Retromobile is a celebration of all things automotive, including but not limited to, motorsport. And it is a place where you can live and share your passion for cars of all types.' The choice of New York, rather than the West Coast or Miami was based on a number of factors, with logistics being a key driver. 'But also because around New York you already have a huge community of car collectors and brokers,' says Neveu. 'For the inaugural show we are looking for 200-250 exhibitors (with more than 80% coming from the USA) and 50,000 to 60,000 visitors. 'The partnership with Gooding Christie's is great for the event because, with the combination of expertise from Gooding and the prestige of Christie's, we have every reason to hope for a spectacular classic car auction. The New York event has a lot to live up to. Retromobile Paris last year attracted 146,000 visitors, of whom 19% were from outside France and 600 exhibitors with auction sales of over $125 million. 'I'm trying to bring my experience of managing big automotive events and make sure we will be able to offer a great and unique experience to our visitors and participants,' says Neveu. 'The big challenge facing us will be to attain the heights of the prestigious Retromobile Paris. The 50th anniversary of Retromobile next year is the perfect opportunity to export the concept of this exclusive event elsewhere for the very first time and we will do our best to deliver an event in New York with the same DNA as Paris at its core but with the vibrant American colors running right through it.'
