Stellantis N.V. (NYSE:STLA) shares rose nearly 1% in Tuesday’s premarket session after the automaker announced a new real-world autonomous-driving testing program with its technology partners.
The move came as U.S. index ETFs also traded higher before the opening bell.
What Is Stellantis’ New Autonomous Mobility Pilot?
Bolt, Pony.ai (NASDAQ:PONY), and Stellantis are launching an autonomous mobility pilot testing program in Luxembourg to validate safety, performance, and regulatory readiness in local traffic, with the group targeting “fully driverless readiness” by the end of the program.
The pilot uses Pony.ai’s seventh-generation autonomous system and a Stellantis midsize van built on its L4-Ready Platform.
Stellantis’ Chrysler Recalls 1.09M Vehicles Over Fire Risk
Chrysler’s latest recalls cover about 1.09 million vehicles, citing fire risks even when parked.
The larger action affects 2021–2025 Jeep Wrangler and Gladiator models over power steering wiring; a smaller recall covers 2020–2022 Pacifica PHEVs due to battery-pack fire risk.
Owners are advised to park outside, while Pacifica owners should avoid charging until free repairs are available.
STLA Stock: Key Levels To Watch Today
Even after Tuesday’s early bounce, STLA remains in a longer-term downtrend, trading below all major moving averages — about 6.3% under its 20-day SMA ($7.59) and 22.3% below its 200-day SMA ($9.15). With the 20-day SMA below the 50-day and February’s death cross still intact, the broader setup remains bearish.
Momentum is not yet signaling a clean reversal. MACD remains below its signal line with a negative histogram, suggesting rallies still need stronger follow-through buying to avoid fading.
The stock is trying to stabilize after its March 52-week low but has yet to reclaim key trend zones where sellers have recently stepped in.
- Key Resistance: $8.50 — a round-number area near declining intermediate-term averages where rebounds may stall.
- Key Support: $7.00 — a nearby round-number level that could serve as a near-term line in the sand.
