Stellantis CEO Carlos Tavares steps down -- Why auto experts are not surprised by this decision
Stellantis CEO Carlos Tavares has resigned effective immediately.
The automaker’s Board of Directors accepted Tavares’ resignation on Sunday, Dec. 1, 2024.

Big Ten fines Michigan and Ohio State $100,000 each for postgame melee
The Big Ten Conference announced it fined Michigan and Ohio State $100,000 each for violating the conference’s sportsmanship policy for the on-field melee at the end of the Wolverines' win in Columbus on Saturday.
“Not only did the actions of both teams violate fundamental elements of sportsmanship such as respect and civility, the nature of the incident also jeopardized the safety of participants and bystanders,” the Big Ten said in a statement Sunday.
A fight broke out at midfield after the Wolverines' 13-10 victory when Michigan players attempted to plant their flag on the OSU logo and were confronted by the Buckeyes.
Police used pepper spray to break up the players, who threw punches and shoves. One officer suffered a head injury when he was “knocked down and trampled while trying to separate players fighting,” a police union official said. The officer was taken to a hospital and has since been released.
Danielle Stislicki vanished 8 years ago in Oakland County: Where things stand in murder case
Danielle Stislicki, 28, disappeared eight years ago in Oakland County.
Stislicki walked out of her office in Southfield on Dec. 2, 2016, and was never seen again. Her body has never been found. Floyd Galloway, a security guard who worked in her office, was charged with her murder.
According to prosecutors, Galloway was known to seek out or flirt with Stislicki, and had previously sent her flowers. Galloway told police he had worked until 11 p.m. that night. Investigators later learned that Galloway did not work and had called off for a “doctor appointment.”
A witness said that Galloway was in the parking lot of the office with the hood up on his Buick Regal. A witness later told police they saw Galloway in the passenger seat of Stislicki’s Jeep Renegade and they were leaving the parking lot.
Stislicki had plans to go to dinner with her best friend that evening but did not show up and did not contact her friend. She was never seen again.
