Overview

This overview provides a high-level discussion of our operating results and some of the trends that affect our business. We believe that an understanding of these trends is important to understanding our financial results for the three months ended March 31, 2025, as well as our future prospects. This summary is not intended to be exhaustive, nor is it intended to be a substitute for the detailed discussion and analysis provided elsewhere in this Quarterly Report, including our condensed consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes.

All dollar amounts expressed in this Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations are in thousands of dollars, except for per share amounts and unless otherwise specified.

Key Factors Affecting Our Operating Results

We believe that our future performance and success depends, to a substantial extent, on our ability to capitalize on the opportunities described herein, which in turn are subject to significant risks and challenges, including those discussed below and the risk factors described in the “Risk Factors” section of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.

We are subject to those risks common in the technology industry and also those risks common to early stage companies including, but not limited to:

      • 
      the possibility of not being able to successfully develop or commercialize our products; 

      • 
      securing additional capital in a timely manner in order to meet operating cash flow needs; doing so on terms that are favorable to us, or at all, which may be challenging given the current capital markets and overall macroeconomic conditions; 

      • 
      maintain and establish relationships with one or more Tier 1 automotive suppliers to facilitate “design wins” with potential end customers, which in our case are automotive OEMs; 

      • 
      develop and protect our intellectual property; 

     •
     changing international trade policies, including the imposition or modification of tariffs, increasing trade tensions, and the implementation of potential trade restrictions;

      • 
      comply with existing and new or modified laws and regulations applicable to our business; 

      • 
      maintain and enhance the value of our reputation and brand; 

      • 
      hire, integrate, and retain talented people at all levels of our organization; and 

      • 
      successfully develop new solutions to enhance the experience of, and deliver value to, our customers.
