Liquidity and Capital Resources

Sources of Liquidity

Our capital requirements will depend on many factors, including, but not exclusively, sales volume and timing of revenue, our efforts to establish and maintain relationship with one or more Tier 1 automotive suppliers and the timing of an OEM design win, our ability to extend our cash runway based on the restructuring initiatives announced in the previous year, the timing and extent of spending to support R&D efforts, how quickly we can commercialize our products, and market adoption of new and enhanced products and features. As of December 31, 2024, our cash, cash equivalents, and marketable securities totaled $22,278. For the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023, we had a net loss of $35,460 and $87,126, respectively. We anticipate that we will continue to incur losses for at least the next several years.

To date, our principal sources of liquidity have been proceeds received from the issuance of equity. In December 2021, we entered into a Purchase Agreement, with Tumim Stone Capital LLC, or Tumim Stone, pursuant to which we had the right, but not the obligation, to issue and sell to Tumim Stone over a 36-month period up to $125,000 of our common stock. On May 6, 2022, we filed a Registration Statement on Form S-1, which related to the offer and resale of up to 1,028,847 shares of our common stock to be purchased by Tumim Stone, pursuant to the Purchase Agreement. On July 24, 2024, this Purchase Agreement was terminated in conjunction with us entering into a Common Stock Purchase Agreement, or CSPA, with New Circle. In total, 996,866 shares were issued under the Tumim Stone CSPA.

In September 2022, we entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement with an investor allowing for the sale and issuance of up to two convertible notes, each with cash proceeds of $10,000, for a total of $20,000 in proceeds between the two issuances (each, a "Note Closing"). On September 15, 2022, we closed the first Note Closing with the investor and received cash proceeds of $9,850 (net of fees paid to the investor). On March 15, 2024, our right to effect a Second Closing under the Securities Purchase Agreement terminated
