Digital Audit - Maserati S.p.A.

Domain: Digital - Digital / Technology Entity scope: Maserati S.p.A. (Modena, Italy), a wholly-owned subsidiary of Stellantis N.V. Maserati-brand’s OWN technology is in scope; Stellantis group-level platforms (STLA AutoDrive, the Israel Innovation Authority MoU) are documented and attributed at parent level. Vendor-domicile rule applies: only genuinely Israeli-domiciled vendors counted in scope (Mobileye = Jerusalem = in scope; Argus = now Continental/German-domiciled = not Israeli-domiciled). Compiled: 2026-06-21 Method: Live web search only

Enterprise Technology Stack & Vendor Relationships

Maserati’s current infotainment platform is the Maserati Intelligent Assistant (MIA), which from the MY2021 generation onward runs on Android Automotive OS as its software foundation - the same OS layer used across other Stellantis brands.¹ Navigation and connected services within MIA are supplied by TomTom (Amsterdam, Netherlands) - IQ Maps, real-time traffic, destination prediction, OTA map updates - a Dutch-domiciled company with no Israeli ownership identified.² The Grecale/GranTurismo infotainment software layer is attributed to Harman International (Samsung subsidiary, US-domiciled), named as supplier of the Uconnect 5 versions recalled February 2025.³ Maserati was named the launch brand for the next-generation Stellantis infotainment system powered by Qualcomm Snapdragon Cockpit Platforms (US-domiciled) under a multi-year agreement announced April 2022, deploying from 2024.⁴ Premium audio is supplied by Sonus Faber (Italian), Bowers & Wilkins, or Harman Kardon - all non-Israeli.

No Israeli-domiciled vendor was identified in Maserati’s core infotainment or cockpit-computing stack.

Connected car / telematics: Maserati Connect provides remote vehicle status, geofencing, emergency assistance, and theft notification via a companion app and Wear OS support; no specific cloud provider has been publicly disclosed for the backend, and no Israeli-domiciled telematics vendor was identified for Maserati Connect specifically.⁵ Stellantis group-level note: Upstream Security (Herzliya, Israel) is a connected-vehicle cybersecurity firm, but no public evidence of an Upstream deployment within Maserati Connect was identified, and its investor syndicate does not include Stellantis.⁶ Body-control and ADAS module software is supplied by Continental Automotive Systems (German-domiciled, GranTurismo BCM recall September 2024) and Robert Bosch (German-domiciled, July 2023 software report) - neither Israeli.⁷³

Surveillance, Biometrics & Retail Technology

No public evidence identified of Maserati S.p.A. deploying Israeli-developed surveillance, biometrics, or retail-analytics technology in its sales network, manufacturing sites, or digital customer-experience platforms. Maserati’s digital customer experience was redesigned in 2022 with Deloitte Digital and creative boutique ACNE across 238 websites and 18 shopping tools - neither vendor Israeli-domiciled.⁸

Cloud Infrastructure, Data Residency & Sovereign Cloud Participation

No public evidence identified specifying the cloud hyperscaler underpinning Maserati Connect or Maserati’s vehicle-data pipeline; Maserati’s global privacy policy does not name a cloud provider.⁹ No public evidence identified of Maserati S.p.A. contracting with Israeli sovereign-cloud providers or Israeli-domiciled cloud-data vendors.

Defence, Intelligence & Security Sector Technology Relationships

No public evidence identified of Maserati S.p.A. holding contracts with, or deploying technology from, Israeli defence or intelligence-adjacent vendors for vehicle cybersecurity, supply-chain security, or operational technology.

Argus / PlaxidityX: Argus Cyber Security was founded in 2013 in Tel Aviv by veterans of Israeli intelligence Unit 8200, then fully acquired by Continental AG (Hanover, Germany) in November 2017 for ~US$430 million, rebranding as PlaxidityX in 2024.¹⁰ As a wholly-owned Continental subsidiary it is now German-domiciled, not Israeli-domiciled. Continental - which supplies Maserati BCM software - may embed PlaxidityX/Argus technology in its automotive modules, but no Maserati-specific PlaxidityX deployment was confirmed; flagged for awareness only.

AI, Algorithmic & Autonomous Systems

Mobileye Traffic Sign Recognition (TSR) - Israeli-domiciled, Maserati-brand confirmed. The official Stellantis/Maserati press release for the Ghibli, Levante, and Quattroporte MY2018 updates (Frankfurt International Motor Show, September 2017) explicitly states that the ADAS suite includes “Traffic Sign Recognition (TSR, based on Mobileye technology)” for all three models.¹¹ This is direct OEM source attribution, not inference. Mobileye domicile: Mobileye Global Inc. is incorporated under Netherlands law but operationally headquartered in Jerusalem, Israel (Shlomo Momo ha-Levi St 1, Jerusalem); founded at the Hebrew University of Jerusalem in 1999, acquired by Intel in 2017, and re-listed on NASDAQ (MBLY) in October 2022, with R&D, engineering, and leadership remaining Israel-based - in scope as an Israeli-domiciled entity.¹² The TSR system identifies speed-limit and overtaking-restriction signs via a forward-facing camera, displayed in the instrument cluster; it was introduced as an optional ADAS feature from the MY2018 generation.¹³

Broader FCA/Stellantis–Mobileye autonomous platform (parent-level context, not Maserati-brand-specific): In August 2017, Fiat Chrysler Automobiles (predecessor absorbed into Stellantis in 2021) signed an MoU with BMW Group, Intel, and Mobileye to co-develop a scalable Level 3–5 autonomous-driving platform.¹⁴ Maserati is listed in FCA’s brand portfolio in that announcement but is not the focus; no Maserati-brand-specific production deployment of higher-level Mobileye ADAS beyond TSR was confirmed. Classified parent/group-level; the 2017 TSR supply relationship is the confirmed brand-level nexus.

Qualcomm / Wayve ADAS (STLA AutoDrive - parent-level): The Stellantis group-level STLA AutoDrive platform for Level 2+ autonomy is built on Qualcomm Snapdragon Ride (US-domiciled) and, from 2026, Wayve AI driving software (UK-domiciled).¹⁵ No Israeli-domiciled ADAS vendor was identified in the STLA AutoDrive stack, and Maserati-brand adoption in specific models was not publicly confirmed. Israeli AV-simulation vendors Cognata and Foretellix (both Tel Aviv) announced a joint ADAS-verification solution in November 2022, but no public evidence was identified of Maserati or its engineering team using Cognata or Foretellix.¹⁶

Technology Ecosystem & R&D Footprint

Stellantis–Israel Innovation Authority MoU (parent-level). On 7 April 2021, Stellantis (via subsidiary FCA Italy S.p.A.) and the Israel Innovation Authority signed an MoU establishing an R&D cooperation framework under the IIA’s multinational-collaboration programme, covering mobility, driving assistance, cybersecurity, and Industry 4.0; at signing, Stellantis had already reviewed more than 30 Israeli startups with multiple proofs of concept underway.¹⁷¹⁸ The press release names Maserati only in brand-portfolio boilerplate; no Maserati-brand-specific collaboration is described. Classified Stellantis group/parent-level, though it represents a live institutional pipeline through which Israeli-technology vendors may enter the Stellantis supply chain - potentially including systems deployed in Maserati vehicles - without brand-level public disclosure.

Maserati Innovation Lab (Modena). Inaugurated September 2015 as the brand’s driver-research and technology-development centre (static/dynamic simulators, UX lab); reported closed by mid-2024 amid Stellantis cost-restructuring.¹⁹²⁰ No Israeli-origin R&D partnerships were identified within its publicly described scope. A separate 2016 FCA partnership with Iveco, Magneti Marelli, and Israel’s Fuel Choices Initiative (Israeli Prime Minister’s Office) on natural-gas vehicle technology was group-level with no Maserati-specific output identified - flagged historical, pre-Stellantis, not scored at brand level.²¹

Civil Society Scrutiny & Regulatory History

No public evidence identified of civil-society organisations specifically scrutinising Maserati S.p.A.’s Israeli technology relationships; the Mobileye–Maserati TSR relationship has not attracted public campaigner attention as of the audit date. No GDPR enforcement actions by the Italian Data Protection Authority (Garante) specifically naming Maserati S.p.A. were identified for 2023–2025.²² The Stellantis–IIA MoU was reported in Israeli tech press as a positive economic-cooperation story; no critical civil-society coverage was found.¹⁷²³
