Stellantis N.V. has completed the acquisition of driving software developer aiMotive with founder László Kishonti continuing to drive the company as CEO.
“The acquisition of aiMotive will accelerate our journey to become a sustainable mobility tech company and deliver our Dare Forward 2030 goals,” said Stellantis Chief Software Officer Yves Bonnefont. “We will enhance our artificial intelligence and autonomous driving core technology, expand our global talent pool, and foster the mid-term development of our all-new STLA AutoDrive platform.”
aiMotive will operate as a subsidiary of Stellantis, maintaining its operational independence. It will also continue operating on the market with aiSim, aiData and aiWare, delivering its technology solutions in those key areas to third-party customers, the company added.
“In 2015, I founded a company that would develop technologies to shape the future of mobility for everyone,” said founder and CEO of aiMotive László Kishonti. “I’m delighted that seven years later we can contribute to Stellantis’ ambition and work together to make millions of customers’ cars better, safer and more intelligent.”
Stellantis will establish a Board of Directors to oversee aiMotive while preserving its autonomy and startup mindset of rapid innovation, the company said.
