 automotive OEMs or their suppliers, our business will be materially and adversely affected. |

| · | We heavily rely on third-party suppliers and because some of the raw materials and key components in our                                     
 products come from limited or single source suppliers, our ability to control the costs of such components and raw materials is uncertain;   
 moreover, regardless of cost, we are susceptible to supply shortages, longer than anticipated lead times for components, and supply changes, 
 any of which could disrupt our supply chain, could delay deliveries of our products to customers, and could negatively impact the adoption   
 of our products and accordingly, our financial condition and operating results.                                                              |

| · | Although we believe that lidar is an essential technology for autonomous vehicles and other emerging applications,                     
 market adoption of lidar is uncertain. If market adoption of lidar does not continue to develop, or adoption is deferred, or otherwise 
 develops more slowly than we expect, our business will be adversely affected.                                                          |

| · | The complexity of our products could result in unforeseen delays or expenses from undetected defects,                                   
 errors, or reliability issues in our hardware or software which could reduce the market adoption of our products, damage our reputation 
 with current or prospective customers, and expose us to product liability and other claims, thereby adversely affecting our operating   
 costs.                                                                                                                                  |

| · | Shareholder activism could cause us to incur significant expense, disrupt our business, result in a proxy 
 contest or litigation, and impact our stock price.                                                        |

Because forward-looking statements are inherently
subject to risks and uncertainties, some of which cannot be predicted or quantified and some of which are beyond our control, you should
not rely on these forward-looking statements as predictions of future events. The events and circumstances reflected in our forward-looking
statements may not be achieved or occur, and actual results could differ materially from those projected in the forward-looking statements.
Moreover, we operate in an evolving environment. Some of these risks and uncertainties may in the future be amplified by the lingering
effects of the COVID-19 pandemic. Additionally, new risk factors and uncertainties may emerge from time to time, and it is not
possible for management to predict all risk factors and uncertainties. As a result of these factors, the forward-looking statements in
