Fiat Chrysler joined the self-driving technology consortium led by BMW in 2017. It also has autonomous vehicle development partnerships with Alphabet Inc.’s Waymo LLC and auto supplier Aptiv Plc.

Luxury sports-car brand Maserati, which saw its sales plunge 32% in the first three months of the year, has been struggling with a lack of new product and a sharp drop in demand from China.
