Our limited operating history makes it difficult to evaluate our future prospects and the risks and challenges we may encounter.

We have been focused on developing our deterministic artificial intelligence-driven sensing system for vehicle autonomy, ADAS, and Non-Automotive applications since 2013. This relatively limited operating history makes it difficult to evaluate our future prospects and the risks and challenges we may encounter, which include our ability to:

      • 
      develop and commercialize our products; 

      • 
      produce and deliver lidar and software products meeting acceptable performance metrics; 

      • 
      forecast our revenue and budget for and manage our expenses; 

      • 
      attract new customers and retain existing customers; 

      • 
      develop, obtain, or progress strategic partnerships; 

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

      •

      • 
      anticipate and respond to macroeconomic changes as well as changes in the markets in which we operate; 

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

      • 
      effectively manage our supply chain to address changing international trade policies, including tariffs, trade tensions, and potential trade restrictions; 

      • 
      develop and protect our intellectual property; 

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

      • 
      successfully develop new solutions to enhance the experience of customers. 

If we fail to address the risks and difficulties that we face, including those associated with the challenges listed above as well as those described elsewhere in this “Risk Factors” section, our business, financial condition, and results of operations could be adversely affected. Further, because we have limited historical financial data and operate in a rapidly evolving market,
