under the referenced risk factor in the Revised Registration Statement. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">&#147;&#133;On September&nbsp;26, 2024, the U.S. Department of Commerce&#146;s
Bureau of Industry and Security published a notice of proposed rulemaking that would, if finalized as proposed, prohibit the sale or import of connected vehicles that incorporate certain technology and the import of particular components themselves
from countries of concern, specifically China and Russia (the &#147;BIS Rule&#148;). The BIS Rule includes restrictions on imports or sales of connected vehicles using vehicle connectivity systems and automated driving systems software, as well as
imports of vehicle connectivity systems hardware equipment. Our business in the U.S. is limited to research and development and road testing, and the U.S. has not been, and will not be, a market for our products or services. Our road testing
activities in the U.S. could become prohibited or restricted by the BIS Rule. If the BIS Rule is finalized as proposed, we expect to be able to discontinue road testing in the U.S. before the implementation of the BIS Rule without materially
affecting our overall testing capabilities, given the limited scope of our testing activities in the U.S. (see &#147;Business&#151;Our Business in the U.S.&#148;). The data collected from our road testing in the U.S. is not necessary for our
research and development activities in the U.S., which are not otherwise prohibited or restricted by the BIS Rule. As such, we do not expect the BIS Rule to have a material impact on our ability to continue our research and development in the U.S.
after it takes effect. If finalized, the BIS Rule could prohibit or restrict third parties from reselling or importing our products or products using our technology into the U.S., but to our knowledge no such third party resale or importation occurs
at present. However, it is possible that this prohibition or restriction on third-party activities, if effective, could deter customers from purchasing our products or services in the future. </P>
