Stellantis Ventures, the corporate venture fund of Stellantis N.V., has been formed from 10 startup companies and one mobility venture fund that have been considered so far as its first key investments. Three of the projects backed by Stellantis Ventures are launching this year, further supporting Stellantis’ Dare Forward 2030 efforts, a company initiative to achieve more sustainable mobility and a better in-vehicle experience.

Nauto’s safety system assesses both driver behavior risk and external road risk, warning and coaching drivers to reduce distracted driving and prevent collisions in real time while respecting driver privacy, according to the company. The Nauto solution will be available this summer in the United States on Stellantis commercial fleet vehicles.
