According to Sawyer Merritt, Stellantis stock returned -21% during Carlos Tavares’s tenure from 2021 to 2024, highlighting the challenges faced by traditional automakers in integrating advanced AI technologies for electric and autonomous vehicles (Source: Sawyer Merritt, Twitter). The shift in leadership presents a significant business opportunity for Stellantis to accelerate its adoption of automotive AI, including intelligent manufacturing and connected car platforms. As AI-driven competition intensifies in the automotive sector, companies that quickly pivot to AI-based solutions for supply chain optimization, predictive maintenance, and enhanced user experiences are more likely to recover lost market value and capture emerging revenue streams. This leadership change could signal a renewed focus on leveraging AI for business growth and operational efficiency.
