Equity Method Investments and Joint Ventures [Abstract]
Equity Method Investments	EQUITY METHOD INVESTMENTS The Company uses the equity method of accounting to account for an investment in which it has the ability to exercise significant influence but does not control. The Company recognizes its proportionate share of the investee’s net income or loss in equity in net earnings (losses) of equity method investee. The Company evaluates an equity method investment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate the carrying amount of such investment may be impaired. If a decline in the value of an equity method investment is determined to be other than temporary, the Company records a loss as a component of the Company’s share of earnings or losses of the equity method investee in the current period. Canopy Investment In April 2022, the Company and Ford Motor Company (“Ford”) formed a new entity, SNTNL LLC (“Canopy”), and the Company contributed cash of $11 million (the “Initial Contribution”). Since the Initial Contribution, the Company contributed $7 million. During the fourth quarter of 2023, the Company sold its shares in Canopy and received $21 million in accordance with the terms of the agreement between the Company and Ford, which included a put right under which the Company recovered its full equity investment in Canopy plus a premium (“Canopy Termination”). In addition, the Company recognized a gain of $15 million, which is reflected in equity in net earnings (losses) of equity method investees. The Company no longer holds an investment in Canopy. The Company previously accounted for its investment in Canopy under the equity method of accounting as the Company was not the primary beneficiary, and therefore, did not consolidate Canopy’s assets, liabilities, and financial results of operations. In connection with the Canopy Investment, the Company entered into various commercial agreements (the “Canopy Commercial Agreements”). The Company and Canopy are also parties to a trade name licensing agreement. These agreements will terminate effective on December 1, 2024 as a result of the Canopy Termination. The impact to the consolidated financial statements from these agreements is not material.
