Loss
of any of our key personnel or inability to attract new personnel could have a negative effect on the operation of our business.

Our
success depends on our executive officers and other key personnel and on our ability to attract and retain qualified new personnel. Achievement
of our business objectives will require substantial additional expertise in the areas of sales and marketing, research and product development
and manufacturing. Competition for qualified personnel in these fields is intense, and the inability to attract and retain additional
highly skilled personnel, or the loss of key personnel, could hinder our ability to compete effectively in the automotive or technology
markets and adversely affect our business strategy execution and results of operations.

Risks
Related to Development for the Industrial and Automotive Markets

We
invest significant time and resources seeking OEM selection of our products and solutions. If our products and solutions are not selected
for inclusion in ADAS systems by automotive OEMs or automotive Tier 1 suppliers after incurring substantial expenditures in these efforts,
our future business prospects, results of operations, and financial condition will be materially and adversely affected.

Automotive
OEMs and Tier 1 suppliers design and develop ADAS technology over several years, undertaking extensive testing and qualification processes
prior to selecting a product such as our lidar sensors and software for use in a particular system, product or vehicle model because
such products will function as part of a larger system or platform and must meet certain other specifications. We have invested and will
continue to invest significant time and resources to have our products considered and possibly selected by OEMs or Tier 1 suppliers for
use in a particular system, product or vehicle model, which is known as a “series production win” or a “series production
award.” In the case of ADAS technology, a series production award would mean that our lidar sensor and/or ADAS solution had been
selected for use in a particular vehicle model. However, if we are unable to achieve a series production award with respect to a particular
vehicle model, we may not have an opportunity to supply our products to the automotive OEM for that vehicle model for a period of many
years. In many cases, this period can be as long as five to seven or more years. If our products are not selected by an automotive OEM
or our suppliers for one vehicle model or if our products are not successful in that vehicle model, it is unlikely that our product will
be deployed in other vehicle models of that OEM.
