Stellantis Unveils STLA AutoDrive, Hands-Free
Stellantis N.V. today unveiled STLA AutoDrive 1.0, the Company's first in-house-developed automated driving system, delivering Hands-Free and Eyes-Off (SAE Level 3) functionality.
STLA AutoDrive is a key pillar of Stellantis' technology strategy, alongside STLA Brain and STLA Smart Cockpit, advancing vehicle intelligence, automation and user experience.
STLA AutoDrive enables automated driving at speeds up to 60 km/h (37 mph), reducing driver workload in stop-and-go traffic and giving back valuable time.
Ideal for commuters in dense urban areas, STLA AutoDrive will allow drivers to temporarily engage in non-driving tasks such as watching a movie, catching up on emails, reading a book or simply looking out the window, reclaiming valuable time.
'Helping drivers make the best use of their time is a priority,' said Ned Curic, Stellantis Chief Engineering and Technology Officer. 'By handling routine driving tasks, STLA AutoDrive will enhance the driving experience, making time behind the wheel more efficient and enjoyable.'
The system is designed for simplicity: when traffic and environmental conditions align, drivers are notified that STLA AutoDrive is available. Once activated by a physical button, the system takes control, maintaining safe distances, adjusting speed, and managing steering and braking seamlessly based on traffic flow.
STLA AutoDrive continuously monitors its surroundings through an advanced suite of sensors to ensure high-precision awareness and reliable operation, even at night or in challenging weather conditions such as light rain or road spray. To maintain consistent performance, an automated sensor-cleaning system keeps critical components clear for optimal reliability and functionality.
Stellantis engineers have refined STLA AutoDrive to react quickly and naturally, ensuring that the system feels smooth, predictable and human-like in real-world conditions. Whether maintaining safe following distances or adjusting to merging traffic, the system operates seamlessly to provide a confident, stress-free drive.
At higher speeds, STLA AutoDrive offers the convenience of Adaptive Cruise Control and lane centering functions in Level 2 (hands-on) and Level 2+ (hands-off, eyes-on) modes.
Built on a scalable architecture, STLA AutoDrive is ready for deployment and can be adapted for global markets across Stellantis branded vehicles, ensuring a smooth rollout as commercial strategies align with market demand. The system is also cloud-connected, enabling continuous enhancements through over-the-air updates and real-time data integration for optimized performance.
STLA AutoDrive complies with applicable regulations in supported markets and requires drivers to remain seated, belted and ready to assume control when prompted. It also respects regional laws on driver conduct, including phone use restrictions.
STLA AutoDrive is designed as an evolving platform, with ongoing research and future advancements potentially capable of unlocking:
• Hands-Free and Eyes-Off operation at higher speeds, up to 95 km/h (59 mph).
• Enhanced off-road automation for select models.
With its focus on safety, flexibility and long-term adaptability, STLA AutoDrive represents Stellantis' next step toward more intelligent, comfortable and intuitive driving experiences.

John Elkann will continue in his role as Executive Chairman when Antonio Filosa takes up his position as Chief Executive Officer on June 23. At that time, Antonio Filosa will also announce Stellantis' new leadership team. 'Antonio's deep understanding of our Company, including its people who he views as our core strength, and of our industry equip him perfectly for the role of Chief Executive Officer in this next and crucial phase of Stellantis' development,' said Stellantis Executive Chairman John Elkann. 'I have worked closely with Antonio over the past six months during which time his responsibilities have increased, and his strong and effective leadership spanning both North and South America at a moment of unprecedented challenge have confirmed the excellent qualities he brings to the role. Together with the entire Board, I look forward to working with him.' 'We unanimously welcome Antonio's appointment as our new Chief Executive Officer,' added Stellantis Vice Chairman Robert Peugeot. 'His track record of successful leadership during his many years with our Company speaks for itself and this, together with his deep knowledge of our business and of the complex dynamics facing our industry, make him the natural choice to become Stellantis' next CEO.' 'The appointment of Antonio Filosa to lead Stellantis opens a new and important chapter for our Company,' said Nicolas Dufourcq, CEO of the Banque Publique d'Investissement (Bpifrance). 'At a moment of transformation for the global automotive industry, Antonio Filosa has the knowledge, the experience, and the talent to lead Stellantis to new successes.' 'It is my great honor to be named the CEO of this fantastic Company,' said Antonio Filosa. 'I am grateful to our Chairman, John Elkann, and to the members of our Board for their leadership, particularly in these recent months, and for the confidence they have placed in me to lead our business during this pivotal time for our industry. I have always been inspired by the immense talent, passion and commitment of our people at Stellantis and the power of trusting our teams to achieve excellence.

The All-New Jeep®️ Compass: Redefining Adventure with Iconic Design, Advanced Technology, and Legendary Capability
The Jeep®️ brand introduces the latest evolution of its successful Compass, a C-SUV that has captivated over 2.5 million customers worldwide since its debut in 2006. The new Compass is set to redefine expectations in the most competitive passenger car segment, which accounts for almost a quarter of the total European market. Built to embody the Jeep brand's hallmark capability, ruggedness, and distinctive attitude, the new Compass blends versatility with state-of-the-art technology. The brand's most globally available model, productions and sales begin in Europe, before expanding to other markets from there. Production remains in the heart of Italy at the Melfi plant, reinforcing Jeep's commitment to localized European manufacturing. Recognized for its cutting-edge automation and sustainability-focused operations, Melfi plays a strategic role in Stellantis' electrification roadmap. The Jeep brand's ambitious vision is reflected in its strong growth trajectory. In 2024, the brand sold 132,000 units across Europe—led by the success of the Avenger, which accounted for almost 80,000 units. Jeep's market presence continues to strengthen, with notable gains beyond Italy, where sales across the rest of Europe surged by nearly 10 percentage points in 2024 with the UK market tripling sales and key markets such as France and the Netherlands multiplying sales by 1.5 against 2023. The first months of 2025 confirm this positive trend with a market share of 1,1%. Fabio Catone, Head of Jeep Brand in Enlarged Europe, remarked: ' The new Jeep Compass boldly represents the brand's forward-thinking philosophy, highlighting our dedication to not only meeting today's market demands but also anticipating tomorrow's opportunities. This vehicle is the perfect expression of the Jeep ruggedness and performance, delivering state-of-the-art solutions while preserving our commitment to electrification and sustainability. Crafted for outdoor adventures yet perfect for everyday use, the new Jeep Compass stands as a powerful testament to our relentless pursuit of innovation and versatility, designed to meet the diverse needs of customers around the world'. Design, Technology, and Capability—The Jeep Way The new Jeep Compass stands as a bold and unmistakable statement, showcasing a design that captures the essence of the Jeep brand's legendary heritage while embracing modern innovation. Built upon the cutting-edge Stellantis STLA Medium platform, specifically tailored to support electrification in the C and D segments. This forward-thinking platform guarantees an exceptional range, rapid charging capabilities, optimal efficiency, and high performance without compromising on affordability. Crafted by the Jeep brand's dedicated engineering teams in Turin and the United States, with input from expert technical minds around the world, the new Compass strikes an impressive balance between rugged off-road capability and seamless daily usability. Perfectly suited for outdoor adventures yet equally adept at navigating urban environments, this vehicle offers unmatched versatility, advanced technology, and a heightened level of safety. Its design has been meticulously crafted to deliver both enhanced performance and iconic style. True to the Jeep brand's legacy, the Iconic Jeep features such as the unmistakable seven-slot grille, trapezoidal wheel arches, and rugged cladding were thoughtfully integrated to honor the brand's heritage while ensuring the vehicle retains its off-road prowess and signature look. The new Jeep Compass has also been engineered with functionality and safety in mind; the addition of the Anti-scratch modular Jeep shield and reinforced bumpers provides enhanced protection for both urban and off-road environments. Additionally, to ensure optimal protection, the vehicle's radar has been repositioned to avoid damage in tight spaces or when encountering obstacles. New Compass is available in six colors that are linked to specific natural landscapes and can evoke emotions and particular images associated with each geographical region. The launch color will be Hawaii, a bright brilliant green inspired by the nuances of the tropical islands, the range varies from the Pacific (blue) to represent the vast expanses of the Pacific Ocean; the Antarctica (white) to symbolize the ice and snow of the far south of the planet; the Amazonia (brownish green) evoking the Amazon rainforest; the Yosemite (grey) emblematic of the towering cliffs and rock formations of the national park and Vulcano (black) calling to mind the isle of Vulcano in Sicily. The capability of the new Compass is extended across the range, including the front-wheel-drive version, which will also be 100% capable. With a ground clearance of up to 200 mm, approach angle of 20°, breakover angle of 15° and departure angle of 26° the new Compass is equipped to handle tough terrains with ease. Additionally, the vehicle's water fording depth of up to 470 mm highlights its ability to tackle the most challenging environments. Selec-terrain will be standard on all versions to support our customers in the most challenging situation as it will be the 360-degree protection already present on the Avenger. New suspension tuning with dedicated springs, dampers and antiroll bar are granting a good compromise between handling and comfort. And the all-wheel-drive versions will be even more capable thanks to special extra-functional design that ensures 27 degrees of approach angle, 16 degrees of breakover, 31 degrees of departure angle, and improved ground clearance and water fording. Hill descent control will be standard on the all-wheel drive versions. Beyond its off-road prowess, the Compass offers more interior space and remarkable versatility while remaining one of the most compact vehicles manufactured from STLA Medium Platform with only 4.55m total length. It now provides 55 mm of additional legroom, a larger 34-liter front interior storage compartment, and an increased boot capacity of 45 liters, reaching up to 550L. The 40/20/40 rear seat split, standard on all versions, allows for ultimate flexibility, making it as functional for passengers as it is for cargo. In the realm of technology, the new Compass is an all-inclusive value proposition. The new infotainment system offers a 10″ cluster and a 16″ radio, while connected services ensure that the vehicle will be always up-to-date, receiving over-the-air (OTA) updates throughout the lifecycle, and Level 2 autonomous driving will support our customers on a safe journey on longer trips or in congested urban areas. All this will be standard on the entire line-up. And the experience can be even improved with head-up display, Semi-automatic lane change, Matrix LED and Mobile Phone access.

Aston Martin Restricts US Exports Amid Rising Trump Tariffs
Israa Farhan Aston Martin has announced a reduction in its vehicle exports to the United States due to heightened trade tariffs introduced under Donald Trump's economic policies. The British luxury automaker joins a growing list of global car manufacturers grappling with mounting uncertainty stemming from evolving US trade regulations. The company, renowned for its James Bond associations, confirmed it is currently limiting shipments to the US and instead utilizing inventory already held by its American dealerships. The United States remains a crucial market for Aston Martin, contributing approximately one-third of its £1.6 billion in revenue for 2024. In a statement, Aston Martin said it is closely tracking developments in the US tariff landscape and is prepared to adjust its strategy as conditions evolve. The 25 percent import tax, introduced on April 3 as part of a broader initiative to repatriate automotive production, has disrupted global trade flows and threatened to raise production costs significantly. Other major automakers, including Mercedes-Benz Group and Stellantis—the parent company of Jeep, Fiat, Vauxhall, and Peugeot—have also taken defensive positions in response to the volatile policy environment. Both companies withdrew their financial guidance for 2025, citing a lack of clarity over future tariff implications. Stellantis reported a 9 percent year-on-year decline in vehicle shipments during the first quarter of 2025, alongside falling net sales. The group had anticipated a moderate recovery this year but has now suspended those projections due to heightened market risks. Similarly, Mercedes-Benz noted that the uncertainty caused by shifting US trade policy and potential international countermeasures has made it impossible to provide reliable forecasts. While the company operates manufacturing plants within the United States, it also relies heavily on exports from Europe, exposing it to tariff-driven cost increases. Although Trump has since announced plans to soften certain levies to alleviate pressure on American manufacturers, industry leaders remain wary. The revised approach exempts companies from multiple overlapping duties, such as those on steel and aluminum, and allows for temporary relief on certain imported auto components. Still, manufacturers stress that the overall volatility in trade conditions remains too severe for accurate long-term planning. read more Gold prices rise, 21 Karat at EGP 3685 NATO's Role in Israeli-Palestinian Conflict US Expresses 'Strong Opposition' to New Turkish Military Operation in Syria Shoukry Meets Director-General of FAO Lavrov: confrontation bet. nuclear powers must be avoided News Iran Summons French Ambassador over Foreign Minister Remarks News Aboul Gheit Condemns Israeli Escalation in West Bank News Greek PM: Athens Plays Key Role in Improving Energy Security in Region News One Person Injured in Explosion at Ukrainian Embassy in Madrid News Egypt confirms denial of airspace access to US B-52 bombers News Ayat Khaddoura's Final Video Captures Bombardment of Beit Lahia Lifestyle Pistachio and Raspberry Cheesecake Domes Recipe News Australia Fines Telegram $600,000 Over Terrorism, Child Abuse Content Arts & Culture Nicole Kidman and Keith Urban's $4.7M LA Home Burglarized Videos & Features Bouchra Dahlab Crowned Miss Arab World 2025 ..
