Cash at the end of the period was US$3.4 million, with a post-period US$14.1 million royalty payment received. Operationally, the company scaled to over 4.8 million cars on the road, secured new program wins in Europe and Japan, and expanded its technology leadership with innovations like 3D Cabin Perception Mapping.
