Key risks (from latest filing)
["Revenue generated from deployed autonomous trucks remains minimal; company has not yet demonstrated significant commercial scale or profitability from the DaaS model, and transition from owned-truck operations to customer-owned DaaS deployment faces execution and adoption risks","The autonomous trucking industry lacks regulatory clarity; federal and state regulations governing driverless commercial vehicles are still evolving, and unfavorable regulatory changes or accidents could halt deployment and market adoption","Intense competition from well-capitalized autonomous vehicle technology providers (Waymo, Tesla, others), government-backed research institutions, and traditional trucking companies with AI capabilities could limit market share, pricing power, and technology differentiation"]
