 for commercialization would adversely impact our ability to generate revenue at the rate we anticipate, and we may be liable if we fail to comply with such laws and regulations. This might require us to stop or curtail operations or conduct of fund remedial or corrective measures, make additional investments into safety-related improvements or perform other actions.

It is also possible that future regulations of autonomous vehicles, including environmental and health and safety laws and regulations, are not standardized, subjecting our technology to differing regulations across jurisdictions (whether at the federal, state, local, or international level). For example, in Europe, certain vehicle safety regulations apply to automated braking and steering systems, and certain treaties also restrict the operations of certain higher levels of automation. As of September 30, 2025, 25 U.S. states have passed legislation allowing for the deployment of driverless trucks, and most other states allow testing with a safety driver in the vehicle. Many other states are considering legislation and regulations that may adversely affect autonomous and driverless technologies. Despite such advances in U.S. state legislation, there is currently no comprehensive U.S. federal framework for autonomous vehicle deployment. This regulatory patchwork, and the ongoing legislative and regulatory efforts at various jurisdictional levels, may hinder the commercial deployment of our technology and adversely affect our business prospects and financial condition.

By their nature, high volume trade routes often traverse a variety of jurisdictions, meaning that our long-term access to promising opportunities may be dependent on addressing these potentially divergent regulations in a generalizable way. We are also subject to laws and regulations that commonly apply to software businesses, such as those related to privacy, data protection, cybersecurity, tax and consumer protection. These laws and regulations vary from one jurisdiction to another and future legislative and regulatory action, court decisions or other governmental action, which may be affected by, among other things, political pressures, attitudes and climates, as well as personal biases, may have a material impact on our operations and financial results. The enactment of more stringent laws, regulations or permit requirements or other such events may arise in the future and adversely impact the market for our products, which could materially and adversely affect our business, financial condition, and results of operations. Additionally, even if we are able to meet all the regulatory requirements in a single state jurisdiction or fulfill any applicable federal requirements in the United States, there can be no assurance that such measures will be sufficient to meet all regulatory requirements in other state or foreign jurisdictions or fulfill the requirements of any other applicable US or foreign regulatory authority. If any foreign regulatory
