Despite the fact that
General Motors (NYSE: GM) was unable to block a court case regarding its ignition scandal from proceeding this year, the firm is hoping to wow investors with new projects and help people forget the turmoil caused by the faulty switches in 2015. Just days into the new year, the firm has already begun to lay out its plans to become ingrained in the tech revolution by investing in strategic startups and continuing to work on the latest car technologies.
Lyft
One of the biggest stories of the new year was GM's $500 million
investment in Lyft, a ride-sharing startup that competes with Uber. The deal marks an important milestone in the sharing economy, as it is the first time a major automaker has invested in such a service. Companies like Lyft and Uber threaten to upend the auto industry as they significantly reduce the need to own a car. However, GM is hoping to work together with Lyft to develop a service that hails self-driving vehicles, something that may help the company weather a ride-sharing storm in the future.
Electric CarsOn Tuesday, GM will also
unveil its latest electric car offering at the Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas. The firm has been working on an electric car called the Chevrolet Bolt, which will be able to drive 200 miles in between charges. The vehicle is expected to be road ready by 2017 and many believe that it will be in direct competition with
Tesla Motors' (NASDAQ: TSLA) low cost option— the Model 3, which is set to debut in March.
Is It Enough?General Motors has been on the radar for many traders recently as the company appears to have done a 180 since last year's ignition switch crisis. While court cases this year will determine whether or not the financial implications of the faulty switch will continue to haunt the firm in coming years, many believe that the public has regained trust in the brand and that its efforts to ensure a strong position in the future are a good reason to invest.
