spk05: Thank you, Rob, and welcome to the team. Good morning, everyone, and thank you for joining us. I'm excited to provide another update on the meaningful progress we've been making at InnoVis. This has been another fast-moving quarter with new design wins, new technology partnerships, significant upgrades to our manufacturing throughput, and a big step forward in our move into the non-automotive market. Let's start things off. with a look at our most recent new customer win. After our Volkswagen announcement last quarter, we said that we had two to three additional OEMs that could make a decision in the next six months. Proving true to our word, we announced in September that we secured yet another production award with a new Asia-based customer. Not only is this our fourth production win and our second win as a Tier 1, it also signals an exciting acceleration in our momentum, delivering back-to-back production wins just one quarter out. We will dig a little deeper into our pipeline later in the call, but let's first take a look at this most recent deal. The new contract is with an Asian OEM who we cannot name yet, but is on a fast path to becoming an emerging global EV leader. There are some very important parts of the deal that I want to touch on. First and foremost, this is an extremely tech forward OEM. They took a close look at our technology and the platform partners that we can integrate with, and they decisively chose our solution over any other competition. And in that process, they also concluded that we are well positioned as a tier one direct supplier. Additionally, they are currently targeting a fast ramp-up of lighter installation on two models, with a quick turnaround to SLP, with production revenues expected already to begin in 2024. And this deal articulates our long-term strategy extremely well. Very large deals like the Volkswagen deal we announced last quarter are going to bring the volumes that will rapidly drive our unit cost economics lower. And lower volume deals will bring our higher contribution margins. And with each new deal we win, we are growing our pre-production NRE revenues and securing increased funding of production machinery and tooling. Over time, each deal will move us closer and closer to our long-term margin targets. From a global standpoint, this is our first automotive win in Asia. expansion efforts and highlights the incredible progress we'll be making on this front. Combined with recent progress on the non-automotive side, Asia is evolving into an increasingly important geography for Innobis, and we hope to have additional news to share in the coming quarters as this market is rapidly developing for us. Last but not least, there is one more very important part of this deal, and it has to do with the technology partner that we are working with for this customer. As many of you know, there are three leading autonomous driving platforms in the auto industry that operate the hardware and the software stack that integrates the sensing and perception inputs from the various ADAS components, such as LiDAR and radars and cameras. With this deal announcement, we are excited to share that Now we have production awards, not demos or partnerships, but actual production awards with two out of three main platforms in the industry. Integrating with these platforms can be an important barrier to entry. We believe that once you are on the platform and you have the working relationship with the partner, future business wins for both parties. I want to encourage investors to not underestimate this aspect of the deal. Several of the RFQs that we are currently competing on have already decided to use this platform. We believe that having this working relationship can increase our odds of winning additional business in the near term. Needless to say, we are very excited about this development. Now, let's spend a little time on why we are winning in the automotive market. I've picked up from some of my conversations with investors that there is a belief that the success in the lighter industry is going to come down to one thing, like range or resolution. but that is obviously not enough. In our experience with customers, you cannot simply win by checking one or two boxes. You have to check all of them. You have to be strong on each of these categories, price, performance, automotive grade, manufacturing and company maturity. And the feedback that we've gotten from customer is that we aren't winning these deals by one or two points. We are winning across the board on multiple fronts. But don't just take it from us. We wanted to share quick video from the event we hosted in September, celebrating the opening of our new headquarters with a large group of investors and customers from all over the world. It's not only a big building that who knows what we'll do with it, it's actually going to allow us to meet our targets.
spk01: of all the places that I've been to, I was so impressed by the vigor and the creativity and the technology.
spk08: Never before the automotive industry had been under such a strong change movement. We're looking at the sensors, picking out the best sensors that you can find in the markets. In the future, we will work closely together with you. So you deserve all the merits of the effort that you accomplished so far. And this is the fruit of all your effort and I think This deserves a big applause from everyone here. So thank you.
spk07: Many companies had, you know, one or two smart engineering idea how to solve a specific problem. But Innovitz looks like the most promising one in making the best out of those conflicting things. And that's why we decided a few years back for Innovitz
spk02: Today, you know, I think there's probably a dozen, maybe a little bit more than that of companies that are worth talking about. You know, eight of them, I believe, are now public independently. including Innoviz, a lot of you know. So you also have to talk to the customers. You have to talk to the tier ones, to the OEMs. And so that's what we did. That's how we evaluated. This is overwhelmingly positive feedback for Innoviz's products. This is sort of how we think about the industry and why we think Innoviz is a leader.
spk05: To me, it's very clear that two years from today, three years from today, we'll continue to make progress and develop the right technology. to allow the use of safe mobility everywhere. Nothing is better than hearing from our customers and partners themselves. One of the other points that I want to make about our strategy is that we are deeply focused on level 2 plus to level 3 sweet spot of the automotive industry. There has been an increase in headlines recently highlighting that the progress with Level 5 full autonomous driving is moving slower than hoped and is increasingly looking more like 2035 or even later. We wanted to take the opportunity to remind Investor that it has been long our view that full Level 5 autonomy was going to take many years. And this is why from day one, we built the company strategy around focusing on the Level 2 plus Level 3 to Level 4 categories in the autonomy spectrum. The recent developments of OEMs either de-emphasizing or even fully canceling the level 5 effort is happening at the same time that they are realizing that many customers have grown frustrated with level 1 and level 2 active safety solutions, like forward collision warning and lane keeping assist, with some drivers and level three autonomy systems are likely going to be the biggest differentiating factor in the automotive industry over the next decade. And you can see this in our pipeline in our next slide. One of the major milestones that we track for our business is our OEM shell. Since we believe that once you are on the shelf and validated with an OEM and integrated into their software stack, it becomes easier you into more and more product lines. Once you are embedded, you should be able to grow with the OEM as LIDAR-based L2 Plus and L3 systems are rapidly democratized and moved up the S-curve over the next decade. On that basis, our OEM share as it stands today is roughly 15% of the global automotive market. And if you look at our pipeline, to the right, we have 11 OEMs that are in either RFI or RFQ process. Collectively, these 11 OEMs produce approximately 40 million vehicles per year, representing an additional 42% of the global market. When combined with 15% share currently in Innovis order book, it means that the company either has business market. This pipeline includes many of the world's largest OEMs and is full of names that you are familiar with. In fact, six of the OEMs have annual production levels of 4 million units or more, and the average production within the pipeline is about 4.2 million billion. What's even more important here is that we believe that nearly all with most of these decisions likely to close in 2023. When I meet with investors, I'm often asked, why should I care now? Let's talk again when production starts. What the question is missing is that there is a sizable land grab taking place right now, and the bulk of the early market share is going to be awarded in the next six to 12 months. Ultimately, we think this is going to be a winner-takes-most market. with us in the lead, and this market share will be very sticky for the next decade or more. Now, let's transition from the long term to the past quarter. We had some very exciting developments in the third quarter that I want to spend some time on. First, I'm excited to share that during the quarter, we began shipping D-samples, units originating from the Holy Michigan production line. As a reminder, the D-sample is the version that ultimately is going to go to full production It needs to be produced by the final production tools and processes. Its design is already automotive grade, and this is the last stage of the process is used by the OEM for the final manufacturing validation before moving to series production. You can see in the photos how excited we are to be this close to the start of the production of our customers. One of the other exciting developments this quarter relates to the upgrades with as part of reaching the de-sampled milestone. The production process upgrades were made in parallel with our planned downtime from our headquarters move, which included the movement of the calibration and testing lines within our building. I don't want to understate the scope of this effort. I personally spent many, many late nights with our engineers implementing and re-engineering the process so we could maximize the yields and minimize the downtimes of our lines. This was a crucial step in our plans for the next stage of our strategy as it removed the key bottleneck in our production. This development achieves two important things. Number one, it helps prepare us for mass production with BMW and the shutter programs launching next year. And number two, it will unlock more units for sale in the non-automotive market beginning this quarter and ramping into 2023. In the past, the majority of our production needed to be prioritized for larger volume automotive customers, but now with this upgrade, we will be increasingly able to pursue both markets simultaneously and in more equal measure. While we haven't been as vocal about our progress in the non-automotive market as we have been in automotive, it has the potential to become an important part of our business. And we have made some early success, including the deals and partnerships from the third quarter listed on this slide. One important takeaway here for investors is that every time a customer chooses to work with our lighter solution, it's a validation of both our hardware and software. Of course, not every deal is at the size of Volkswagen and BMW. a close look at our technology, compares it to the competitive environment and chooses to go with Vinodys. This validation and early momentum in non-automotive markets coupled with our increased ability to ship units is an important development. When you combine all of the various stamps from the non-automotive market, it can approximate the time on the automotive side. And the product design cycles are shorter, so the revenue can come on faster, and they tend to be at higher gross margins. It's a perfect complement to the automotive market, where volumes can be in the millions of units, allowing you to reach market-leading unit cost economics once those volumes come on. If you take a step back, these are both $30 billion TAMs that we are showing great progress in. And to accelerate our success in the non-automotive market, we are planning to increasingly work with distribution partners. In fact, next week we are launching our first ever three-day long global distributors summit here at headquarters in Israel. We'll be hosting nine industrial and technology distributors from across Asia, Europe and North America to educate them on our technology, arm them with our marketing tools, and introduce them to our ordering and logistic platforms. Engaging distributors is an important evolution in our go-to-market strategy. It's a lower-cost way to amplify the efforts of our sales, expanding our reach in non-automotive quickly and without meaningful increases to our headcount and fixed costs. for our growth in the non-automotive market, and we're making progress in building the partnerships and the overall foundation for success in the coming years. With that, I'll turn it over to Eldao to go over the financials.
spk06: Thank you, Omar, and good morning, everyone. Starting with cash, we continue to maintain a high liquidity level with approximately $218 million in cash, short-term deposits, restricted cash, and marketable security on balance sheet as of quarter end. And as we have said in the past, our cost structure has already largely matured, so our operating cash outlays remain mostly stable during the quarter and we're in line with our 2022 budget. Moving to income statement, revenues in the quarter came in at 0.9 million dollars compared to Q3 2021 revenues of 2.1 million dollars. Sales in the quarters were impacted by the upgrade we made to our calibration and test lines during the move of our company headquarters as Omer previously discussed. While the timing for the upgrade took slightly longer than expected, the investment was well worth it, giving the meaningful improvement in throughput. With these changes behind us, we expect our revenues cadence to normalize going forward with an uplift to InnovizOne unit deliveries in the coming quarters. In fact, our current unit delivery in Q4 2022 have already surpassed Q3 2022 deliveries. On the cost side, operating expenses for the third quarter of 2022 were $31.3 million, an increase from $30 million in the third quarter of 2021. This included $4.9 million of share-based compensation compared to $8.2 million in Q3 2021. The year-over-year increase in operating expenses was primarily due to an increase in headcount during the quarter, partially offset by the lower level of share-based compensation. Research and development expenses for Q3 2022 were $24.2 million, an increase from $20.6 million in Q3 2021, The quarter included $3.2 million attributable to share-based compensation compared to $3.7 million in Q3 2021. In conclusion, while the setback in our unit delivery this quarter was slightly larger than expected, The volume should be recovered in the following quarters and the long-term benefits that we expect it to unlock are meaningful and a step in the right direction for the company as we move to full-series production of the BMW and Shuttle programs next year. This progress further strengthens our position in the marketplace and improves our ability to gain additional market share going forward in both the automotive and non-automotive segments. And with that, I will turn the call back to Omar.
spk05: Thank you, Eldar. Before turning it over to the Q&A, I wanted to wrap up our prepared remarks with a quick review of where we stand today versus our original 2022 goals. On the right-hand side of this slide, you can see the goals that we have set to ourselves at the beginning of the year and where we stand now. In terms of reproduction programs, we came into the year targeting 10, And today we are at 14. We targeted one design win and we are already delivered to. With two more months left in the year. And in terms of the order book, we originally targeted 30% increase. And thanks in particular to the VW deal and now our most recent win, we've blown through that goal with 165% gain, moving to $6.9 billion. And again, the year is not over yet. In terms of our pipeline, we previously disclosed 12 programs in RFI or RFQ process, with two to three expected to make a decision in the next six months. With the announcement of our new Asian OEM deal, the 12 goes to 11, and now we have one to three customers who could make a decision in the upcoming six months. When I talk about the momentum that we have at Innoviz, you can see it on this slide. on the things we promise to deliver for 2022, and we believe there is a lot more to come in 2023 and 2024. Okay, with that said, I will turn over the call to the operator to take us into the Q&A.
spk09: Thank you. In order to ask a question, please raise your hand using your mobile or desktop application and wait for your name to be announced. Once again, in order to ask a question, please raise your hand using your mobile or desktop application to be announced. Please note that after the Q&A session, we should be handing the call back over to Omar for closing remarks. Our first call today comes from Mark Delaney from Golden Saks.
spk12: Yes, thank you very much for taking the questions. The first one is I'm wondering if you can give any preliminary input on how well Innoviz is doing with the one to three OEM decisions that could be made in the next six months. And can you elaborate a bit on how impactful being qualified with two of the key platforms has been with those decisions?
spk05: Okay. So I would say that with those opportunities, we are already at the short term. list, meaning that the last stage of the RFQ. And generally, I would say that we are in a very strong position. We've heard several times that our award with VW is very meaningful. And one of them is using one of the platforms, the other one is using the other. And the third, actually, I'm not sure which platform they're using. But I would definitely say that from the first two I mentioned, the fact that we're already integrated into those platforms is a key advantage.
spk12: That's helpful. My second question was hoping you can give more of an update on how the de-sample process is going and any more clarity you can provide on when you think the company will be in series production. You said next year for a couple of programs, but is there more granularity you can share? Is it more first half or second half weighted? Thanks.
spk05: Sure. So maybe I'll explain a little bit about what we've done in the last quarter. Moving from C sample and D sample means that the product in C sample, the product needs to finalize all of the design validation for automotive grade. The D sample is related to the production validation. So you need to start the D sample when all the production processes are done. So we had to, before starting the D sample, we had to go through all of the needed changes from the open issues we had in our production processes in order to meet that milestone. So we started shipping already the D sample, and now we're doing D sample production validation. And basically it means that next year, hopefully by the beginning of the year, we'll be already able to meet the start of production of our customers.
spk12: Thank you.
spk09: Okay. Our next call comes from Jared Maimon from Bernebeg. Please go ahead.
spk00: Hey, good morning, guys. First of all, great to see my colleague Michael on the video referencing our channel checks. And there's no doubt the feedback from those customers and prospective customers show you guys are in a great position. First question for me, you guys talked about it on the presser and on the call as well. But on that new platform partner, so given your existing partnership with Qualcomm, As you guys pointed out, that kind of leaves NVIDIA or Mobileye. Either one of those, obviously, great to kind of hit yourselves to. So I guess the question is, can you expand a bit on what the mechanics of that relationship are? And then given a key competitor has called out past partnerships with those platform partners, can you explain how your competitive positioning and the procurement process changes for you?
spk05: So the way it works with these platforms, or maybe specifically with this one, the way that they work with the different customers is that eventually it's the customer decision on which sensor they would like to source. But eventually there is a lot of value in once they are already using your sensor, collecting data, practicing their algorithms, it removes a lot of overhead on doing that again. And eventually, although it's the customer decision on which sensor they want to use, there is a certain, I would say, overhead they might need to pay if they want the platform to support a different sensor. So in general, I would say the fact that we were awarded to a program with this new platform is giving us a huge benefit, or maybe the customer, the future customer, a huge benefit, because he leverages some existing effort going on, and overall program cost would be lower.
spk00: I hope it's clear. Yeah, no, definitely. Thanks, Elmer. And then the second question. So great to hear the update on the forward looking order book. Just on the order book in general, we've been trying to get a better sense of how the kind of top ladder players are approaching those calculations alongside the customer. So can you help us better understand how estimates on things like take rates are arrived at? And then if any unconfirmed wins are considered in there, like what some of your peers are doing?
spk05: No, we're only referring to design wins we have, and those are based on volumes that were provided as part of the RFQ. We give some weighted measure to the different scenarios that are given to us, and based on the number of vehicles that are expected to be included across several years of the program. we are assuming a moderate take rate, which is starting from 1% to 14%. It's actually different between the different programs because for passenger vehicle, there is a more clarity on the number of vehicles per customer, specifically on the Shuttle program. This is based on just the volumes that we got from the customer itself, because there are no volumes out there already.
spk00: Scott, that's it for me. Thanks, Omar. Sure.
spk09: Okay, our next question comes from Andres Shepherd from Cantor. Please go ahead.
spk10: Hey, Omar. Hey, Eldar. Thanks for taking my question, and congrats on another quarter. A few quick questions from me in regards to the revenue numbers, Eldar. So that was a little bit lower than Q3 in 21. Looks like the primary reason was says here downtime from the company's headquarters move. I'm just wondering, can you expand a little bit on that? And I know you're not guiding Q4, but should we expect a stronger Q4 to finish the year? Thanks.
spk06: So it was very important for us. This move, the setback is primarily due to the upgrade that we did in relation to the desample stage that we transitioned to, which means currently the throughput is much better than we had before. And as I said, already now the deliveries that we made to this point in Q4 is larger, exceeds the deliveries that we did last quarter. So definitely I expect the momentum to pick up on that. Maybe one important change from last quarter is the fact that we want another program which has some NREs to it, some considerable NREs. Very nice program that will contribute to our revenues next year as well.
spk05: I want to maybe add to this, if I may. As a company pursuing automotive, our commitment to our customers, such as BMW, to follow their quality requirements, moving to the D sample required us to modify our production processes to meet with their requirements. So it's not only the product that needs to be automotive grade. Also, all of the production tools and processes need to meet certain requirements. And so we had those open issues to cover in order to move to the D sample. In a way, we had to sacrifice the short term in order to do those necessary changes so we can move to the D sample. So the downtime was, I would say, unavoidable. But in general, it is to support our customers that we're expecting to launch next year. And maybe to add to the recent design win, so as Eldar said, this recent design win, there are two very important elements here related to the revenues. One, as Eldar said, is the significant NREs, but also the production tools. So the customer is funding also the production. Another element which is super critical is the fact that this program, out of the different RFQs that we were competing, was the one to launch the earliest and with quite substantial volume already in 2024. So for us, it was very strategic to win this program because it allows us to see growth of our revenues, I would say, in a good way already in 2024.
spk10: Wonderful. Thank you both. That's very, very thorough. I appreciate it. Quick follow-up. Earlier this week, we saw some consolidation in the LiDAR sector with the merger between Alftar and Velodon, which I'm sure you're aware of. I'm just wondering, maybe, Omar, You know, in regards to strategy, is this something that you and Innovis might be considering? You know, obviously you guys have great partnerships with BMW, Carrier, the Asian OEM. So in some ways you are ahead of the competition. I'm just wondering, are you exploring or contemplating any, you know, any M&A activities? Thank you.
spk05: Yeah, no, it's a good question. So I can share with you that in the last probably year, we came across with different ideas coming from banks, et cetera, to consider that kind of path. I have to say that in my point of view, the only thing that matters for us is whether this acquisition will help us to gain momentum in the automotive space and whether the technology that we might need in order to have a better offering into the market will help us to do that. From that point of view, we didn't see and we don't see a good reason to look at that point, to look at that approach.
spk10: Got it. Fair enough. And maybe one last one, if I could. Eldar, maybe for you, can you just remind us on your capital needs? You know, how are you thinking about
spk06: um capital racing needs you know as because we approach 2023 and beyond yes yes so so basically we are looking at next year in terms of what are the expected the revenue or inflow sources and And as we said before, we expect both the launch of the PMW program, which will both generate the final NRE that we are expecting there and revenues. We expect the shuttle programs to launch. We have additional revenues coming from the new client in Asia. So we have some expected inflows. So in addition to that, we have a strong cash position. So I think we are in a good position Currently, this is our plan.
spk05: Maybe I'll add to that as well. We are pursuing additional programs right now, and with every program that we are competing with, there is a substantial NRE requirement that will also support our efforts, which is quite meaningful. So in that manner, it supports our needs. We are also, I would say that the company, organizational structure is very, I would say, efficient. The way the company is able to support different programs is based on the fact that the technology is highly flexible and it actually meets all the requirements we've seen. As such, it doesn't require a large or meaningful need to grow the company to support additional customers. that we need to support, the ad count does not require to increase meaningfully.
spk10: Wonderful. Thank you very, very much again. Thanks for taking our questions. Congrats to another good quarter, and I'll pass it on. Thanks, guys. Thank you. Thank you.
spk09: Our next call comes from Samik Chachedi from JP Morgan. Please go ahead.
spk04: Hi, thanks for taking my question and hope you can hear me. I guess a couple from my side and I'll ask them together. One, firstly, in terms of your pipeline, can you talk about the sort of geographic diversity or sort of how the pipeline looks like in terms of the split between the geos or the OEMs there? And are there any geographies where you feel you're sort of underrepresented today and even in terms of your pipeline and need to focus more and invest more towards over the sort of next 12 months or so? The second one, the question I had was around this new win that you have where the customer is trying to rush to sort of see this production in 2024 with the Asian OEM that you referenced. I mean, as a company, as a Lira company that's been providing safety, how are you trying to mitigate some of the risks of the OEM trying to rush this to see this production happen? what is allowing the customer to rush this or compress the timeline? Is it that the software stack is much more developed or they're more confident about the software stack? Like how do you as a company then mitigate some of the challenges in trying to balance sort of safety versus compressing the timeline to production? Thank you.
spk05: So first of all, thank you, Salik, for the questions. Starting with the first question, geographically, we are spread now. I mean, we started with Germany because we saw it as the base of the automotive market. I would say that even some of our, I would say even our Asian new customer, Allen DF team, there is a big team there also in Germany, which is also helpful for us. But other than that, we are currently in discussion within those 11 OEMs, I would say that probably it's everywhere, Japan, US, and other areas of Europe. I don't think that we have a blind spot, but a blind spot by definition is probably something I don't know about. But I don't think there is a carmaker that is pursuing a lighter now when we're not in So I hope that answered your question. I think that maybe just I'll add, I think that there is good progress in Japan now, moving faster, and also in the US, maybe a little bit following that. Other than that, the second question about safety. So look, the second program, I mean, the new program that I mentioned, The partner that is responsible for the overall driving decision and testing is a very credible player. and I believe that eventually they would manage to do, I mean, eventually they are responsible for all of the driving, testing, and safety. We are responsible for the LiDAR and the perception software, but eventually I believe this is with a very credible team behind it, so I'm not concerned.
spk04: Thank you. Thanks a lot.
spk09: Okay, I would like to pass over the next question to McLean Culver from Rosenblatt Securities. Please go ahead.
spk11: Hi, this is McLean on for Kevin Cassidy. Thank you for letting me ask the question. I had a few questions around the Innoviz 360 RFQs. Have you already started accumulating RFQs? And is the process different than the automotive market? And I had a few follow-ups. Thanks.
spk05: Sure. So the short answer is no. The Innoviz 360 was designed based on discussion with a specific customer. 360, maybe there's one RFQ. But I would say that generally speaking, the automotive market is not yet at the stage where Level 4 is making meaningful progress in terms of making decisions on the product. But we do see a trend going there. So I believe that in terms of, I mean, basically, we started to develop the 360 to see it more meaningfully. Right now, the discussions are more on the, I would say the technical aspects to see that we design the system that meets all of their needs, but no, I would say RFQs in the automotive market. There are discussions with non-automotive customers. I would say that one of the changes we've made to the product is related to discussions about the industrial design. Many customers that we've showed the product made their comment about having a more seamless integration just by having a product that is more similar in terms of shape. And therefore, we did change the product, the way it looks and connects. and we hope to show this product by the end of this year. I think it will be a very disruptive technology because it introduces a very significant improvement to the price performance that is offered today by others.
spk11: Okay, thank you. That's helpful. And for those RFQs, about how many competitors do you have? Is it kind of the same, about two to three as before?
spk05: So I would say that different geographies sometimes introduce different competitors. In general, we mostly compete with tier ones. Some, there are the tier ones that you're probably familiar with that have their own LiDAR. And I would say that in general, we don't really see a lot of the LiDAR The other libraries compete directly.
spk11: Okay, thank you again. And that's all for me.
spk09: You're welcome. Thank you. Thank you very much. That shall conclude our Q&A session for today. And I would like to pass the call back over to Omar. Thank you.
spk05: Okay. Okay, thank you everyone for joining us today. I just wanted to take a minute to give you a quick advertisement for CES. We're excited to meet with both customers and investors in January at the conference. Without saying too much before the event, we plan to highlight not just our technology, but some of our actual products that we are integrated on. And we will showcase some of the capabilities of our new InnoVid 360 library, which is going to be an exciting new addition to our both the automotive and non-automotive market. For investors that are looking to connect at the event, please feel free to reach out to our IR department directly through the email address on this slide or in the press release. We will help you find the time to visit the booth and meet the team. Okay, with that said, I'm excited with where Innoviz stands today and the progress we've made over this quarter. Thank you for joining us. And with that, we can end the call. Thank you very much.
