Israeli tech company Gett Inc. may sell the U.S. arm of its Juno ride-hailing service after only 14 months, sources tell Bloomberg News.
Juno competes with the likes of Lyft and Uber in New York City. Bloomberg’s sources say Gett has made no decision and also is exploring other options.
The company spent $200 million in April 2017 to launch Juno in the American market. Gett also operates ride-hailing services in Israel, Russia and the U.K.
Volkswagen AG invested $300 million in Gett in 2016 to help launch service in Berlin and elsewhere in Europe. But Bloomberg says the carmaker has since refocused on Moia, its own personal mobility service. Bloomberg notes that a $500 million fundraising round launched by Gett earlier this year raised only $80 million.

Mustang Changes for 2018
On Tuesday Ford unveiled—using the social media channels of actor Dwayne Johnson (this has got to unnerve some of the auto buff book editors)—the 2018 Mustang, which has undergone some modifications: under the hood (the 3.7-liter V6 is giving way to a 2.3-liter EcoBoost four, and a 10-speed automatic is available), on the dash (a 12-inch, all-digital LCD screen is available for the dashboard), at the tires (12 wheel choices), on the chassis (MagneRide damper technology is being offered with the Mustang Performance Package), and on the exterior (three new paint colors). And while on the subject of the exterior, there are some notable changes—a lower, remodeled hood, repositioned hood vents, new upper and lower front grilles, LED front lights, revised LED taillamps, new rear bumper and fascia.
