Jeep Maker Stellantis Expands AI Push With Mistral AI Partnership: Details

Jeep Maker Stellantis N.V. (NYSE:STLA) shares are trading higher after the company boosted strategic partnerships with Mistral AI to expand the use of artificial intelligence across various functions, including vehicle engineering and in-car technology.

By leveraging Mistral AI’s expertise in large language models and AI automation, the collaboration aims to enhance data analysis, optimize development processes, and improve customer engagement across Stellantis’ operations.

Stellantis and Mistral AI are collaborating to develop an AI-driven in-car assistant that enables drivers to communicate with their vehicles using natural language.

This intelligent assistant acts as an interactive, voice-enabled user guide, allowing customers to ask about vehicle functions, troubleshoot issues, or understand warning indicators while receiving instant, conversational responses.

This initiative builds on more than a year of joint AI-driven projects focused on enhancing customer experience, product innovation, and manufacturing efficiency.
