Q2-25 is Aurora’s first quarter with commercial revenue following April’s launch of Aurora Driver for Freight.

R&D spending increased 12 % YoY to $190 million and SG&A rose 29 % to $36 million, driving an operating loss of $230 million and a net loss of $201 million (-$0.11 /share).

Balance-sheet strength: cash & equivalents of $206 million plus $1.103 billion in short-term investments give total liquidity of $1.31 billion.

Liabilities remain low at $223 million with no debt; derivative liabilities fell to $41 million. Stockholders� equity improved to $1.99 billion but accumulated deficit widened to $4.77 billion.

Das zweite Quartal 2025 ist Auroras erstes Quartal mit kommerziellen Einnahmen nach dem Start von Aurora Driver for Freight im April. Das Unternehmen erzielte Einnahmen von 1 Million US-Dollar, hatte jedoch Kosten von 5 Millionen US-Dollar, was zu einer negativen Bruttomarge führte. Die F&E-Ausgaben stiegen im Jahresvergleich um 12 % auf 190 Millionen US-Dollar, und die Vertriebs- und Verwaltungskosten (SG&A) erhöhten sich um 29 % auf 36 Millionen US-Dollar, was zu einem operativen Verlust von 230 Millionen US-Dollar und einem Nettoverlust von 201 Millionen US-Dollar (-0,11 US-Dollar je Aktie) führte.

Գä: Bargeld und Äquivalente in Höhe von 206 Millionen US-Dollar plus 1,103 Milliarden US-Dollar in kurzfristigen Anlagen ergeben eine Gesamtliquidität von 1,31 Milliarden US-Dollar.

Die Verbindlichkeiten bleiben mit 223 Millionen US-Dollar niedrig, ohne Schulden; derivative Verbindlichkeiten sanken auf 41 Millionen US-Dollar. Das Eigenkapital der Aktionäre verbesserte sich auf 1,99 Milliarden US-Dollar, aber der kumulierte Fehlbetrag wuchs auf 4,77 Milliarden US-Dollar.

Wichtige Kennzahlen

  • Umsatz: 1 Mio. USD vs. 0 Mio. USD (YoY)
  • Nettoverlust: -201 Mio. USD vs. -182 Mio. USD
  • Bargeld & kurzfristige Anlagen: 1,31 Mrd. USD
  • Ausstehende Aktien: 1,84 Mrd. (A+B)
  • In Dienst gestellte immaterielle Vermögenswerte: 617 Mio. USD, 10 Jahre Nutzungsdauer

Positive
  • First commercial revenue generated, validating Aurora Driver deployment.
  • Robust liquidity of $1.31 b plus expanded $1 b ATM capacity supports near-term funding needs.
  • Operating cash burn improved by $40 m YoY, indicating some spending discipline.
  • No debt and low balance-sheet leverage reduce financial risk.
Negative
  • Gross loss: cost of revenue exceeded sales five-fold, questioning early unit economics.
  • High net loss of $201 m and continued negative EPS.
  • Dilution risk from 69 m shares already issued via ATM and further $580 m capacity remaining.
  • R&D and SG&A growth outpaced revenue, prolonging path to profitability.
  • Accumulated deficit reached $4.77 b, reflecting long-term burn.

Insights

TL;DR: First revenue, heavy losses; strong cash after $399 m ATM; path to profitability still distant.

The debut of $1 m in freight revenue marks technical progress but underscores the early stage of monetization—cost of revenue quintupled sales. Operating expenses rose 14 % YoY, mainly personnel and hardware, keeping burn high. Liquidity of $1.31 b is ample, covering roughly 4�5 quarters at the current spend rate. The enlarged $1 b ATM provides additional flexibility but is dilutive. Near-term valuation hinges on proof of scalable economics and containment of R&D.

TL;DR: Cash runway solid, but dilution and negative unit economics heighten risk profile.

With no debt and limited liabilities, balance-sheet risk is low. However, gross losses on initial freight loads highlight uncertain unit economics, and accumulated deficit nears $4.8 b. The share count rose ~8 % YTD from ATM sales, and further issuance is likely. Investors should monitor cash burn pace, customer uptake, and regulatory milestones before considering sizeable exposure.

CAUTIONARY NOTE REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS
This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q (this “Quarterly Report”) contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of the federal securities laws, which statements involve substantial risks and uncertainties. Forward-looking statements generally relate to future events or our future financial or operating performance. In some cases, you can identify forward-looking statements because they contain words such as “may,” “might,” “possible,” “will,” “should,” “expect,” “plan,” “anticipate,” “could,” “intend,” “target,” “project,” “contemplate,” “believe,” “estimate,” “predict,” “potential” or “continue” or the negative of these words or other similar terms or expressions that concern our expectations, strategy, plans or intentions. Forward-looking statements contained in this Quarterly Report include statements about:
our ability to commercialize the Aurora Driver safely, quickly, and broadly on the timeline we expect;
the safety benefits of our technology and product;
the market for autonomous vehicles and our market position;
our ability to compete effectively with existing and new competitors;
the ability to maintain the listing of our Class A common stock and warrants on Nasdaq;
our ability to raise financing in the future;
anticipated trends, growth rates, and challenges in our business and in the markets in which we operate;
our ability to effectively manage our growth and future expenses;
the sufficiency of our cash and cash equivalents to meet our operating requirements;
our success in retaining or recruiting, or changes required in, our officers, key employees or directors;
the impact of the regulatory environment and complexities with compliance related to such environment;
our ability to successfully collaborate with business partners;
our business partners' ability to source materials for and manufacture vehicles for deployment of the Aurora Driver at scale;
the anticipated benefits from our relationships with our partners and customers;
our ability to obtain, maintain, protect and enforce our intellectual property;
economic and industry trends or trend analysis;
the benefits of the use of artificial intelligence in Aurora’s services or products;
the impact of infectious diseases, health epidemics and pandemics, natural disasters, war (including Russia’s actions in Ukraine and the conflicts in the Middle East), acts of terrorism or responses to these events; and
other factors detailed under the section entitled "Risk Factors" in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2024 and this Quarterly Report.
We caution you that the foregoing list does not contain all of the forward-looking statements made in this Quarterly Report.
You should not rely upon forward-looking statements as predictions of future events. We have based the forward-looking statements contained in this Quarterly Report primarily on our current expectations and projections about future events and trends that we believe may affect our business, operating results, financial condition and prospects. The outcome of the events described in these forward-looking statements is subject to risks, uncertainties and other factors, including those described in the section titled "Risk Factors" in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2024, and elsewhere in this Quarterly Report. Moreover, we operate in a very competitive and rapidly changing environment. New risks and uncertainties emerge from time to time and it is not possible for us to predict all risks and uncertainties that could have an impact on the forward-looking statements contained in this Quarterly Report. We cannot assure you that the results, events and circumstances reflected in the forward-looking statements will be achieved or occur, and actual results, events or circumstances could differ materially from those described in the forward-looking statements.
Neither we nor any other person assumes responsibility for the accuracy and completeness of any of these forward-looking statements. Moreover, the forward-looking statements made in this Quarterly Report relate only to events as of the date on which the statements are made. We undertake no obligation to update any forward-looking statements made in this Quarterly Report to reflect events or circumstances after the date of this Quarterly Report or to reflect new information or the occurrence of unanticipated events, except as required by law. You should not place undue reliance on our forward-looking statements. Our forward-looking statements do not reflect the potential impact of any future acquisitions, mergers, dispositions, joint ventures or investments we may make.

Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (unaudited)
Note 1. Overview of the Organization
Aurora Innovation, Inc. (the “Company” or “Aurora”) is headquartered in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania and its mission is to deliver the benefits of self-driving technology safely, quickly, and broadly. The Company is developing the Aurora Driver, an advanced and scalable suite of self-driving hardware, software and data services designed as a platform to adapt and interoperate amongst vehicle types and applications.
Note 2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Basis of Presentation
The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its controlled subsidiaries. Intercompany balances and transactions between the Company and its controlled subsidiaries have been eliminated.
The preparation of these unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
The information included herein should be read in conjunction with the Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024. The condensed consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2024 included herein was derived from the audited financial statements as of that date but does not contain all of the footnote disclosures from the annual financial statements.
The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements reflect, in the opinion of the Company, all adjustments of a normal, recurring nature necessary for a fair statement of our financial position, results of operations, and cash flows for the periods presented but are not necessarily indicative of the expected results for the full fiscal year or any future period.
The Company’s significant accounting policies are described in Note 2, “Accounting Policies,” in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024. There have been no changes to these policies that have had a material impact on the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements and related notes, except as noted below.
Revenue Recognition
The Company recognizes revenue on its transportation services as goods are transported from one location to another utilizing an over time model as the services are provided.
Revenues are presented net of tax when transactions are subject to taxes, such as sales tax, that are assessed by governmental authorities.
Incremental costs of obtaining a contract and costs to fulfill a contract are not material.
Cost of Revenue
Cost of revenue includes costs of the self-driving system hardware depreciation and maintenance expense, personnel costs, terminal related costs when required, insurance, telecommunications, and amortization of acquired intangibles. When services are provided using vehicles owned by the Company, cost of revenue also includes truck depreciation and maintenance expense, and fuel.
Acquired Intangible Assets
Acquired intangible assets primarily consists of one asset class of developed technology from various business combinations. These assets were in-process research and development (“IPR&D”) until the assets were completed and placed into service during the three months ended June 30, 2025. An estimated useful life of 10 years was assigned for the period over which the technology is expected to contribute to the future cash flows of the company in commercial self-driving applications. These assets are amortized over the estimated useful life in proportion to the economic benefits received via revenue recognized. The acquired intangible assets had an aggregate carrying amount of $617 million as of June 30, 2025. Amortization expense in the three months ended June 30, 2025 was not significant.

Table of Contents
The Company evaluates the estimated remaining useful life of its intangible assets and whether events or changes in circumstances warrant a revision to the remaining period of amortization at each period end. Acquired intangible assets are subject to impairment considerations whenever events or circumstances indicate that the carrying amounts may not be recoverable. No impairment losses were recognized on acquired intangible assets during the periods presented.
Risks and Uncertainties
The Company’s operations are principally funded by available liquidity from cash, cash equivalents and investments. Management expects to continue to incur operating losses and that the Company will need to opportunistically raise additional capital to support the continued development and commercialization of the Aurora Driver. Management believes that cash on hand and investments will be sufficient to meet its working capital and capital expenditure requirements for a period of at least twelve months from the date of these financial statements. Management will continue to evaluate the timing and nature of discretionary operating expenses, as necessary.
Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to concentration of credit risk consist primarily of cash, cash equivalents and investments. The Company primarily maintains its cash and cash equivalents at U.S. commercial banks, while its investments primarily consist of U.S. Treasury securities as well as corporate bonds and commercial paper. Cash and cash equivalents deposited with domestic commercial banks generally exceed the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation insurable limit, though the Company has not experienced any credit losses on its deposits.
The Company is dependent on its suppliers, some of which are single or limited source suppliers, to design, develop, industrialize and manufacture components, and these suppliers may not produce and deliver necessary and industrialized components at prices, volumes and on terms acceptable to the Company. For instance, the Company plans to rely on a single supplier, Continental Automotive Technologies GmbH, for the production, provision and full lifecycle support of its future generation of the Aurora Driver hardware system which will be integrated with OEM platform vehicles. In instances where the supplier fails to perform its obligations, the Company may be unable to find alternative suppliers to satisfactorily deliver its products, if at all.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In December 2023, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Accounting Standards Update 2023-09, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures, which requires disaggregated information about a reporting entity's effective tax rate reconciliation as well as information on income taxes paid to enhance the transparency and decision usefulness of income tax disclosures. The updated standard is effective for annual reporting beginning with the Company’s fiscal year 2025. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of this guidance.
In November 2024, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update 2024-03, Disaggregation of Income Statement Expenses, which requires annual and interim disclosure of disaggregated disclosures of certain costs and expenses on the income statement. The standard is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2026, and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2027, with early adoption permitted. Amendments are applied on a prospective basis with retrospective application permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of this guidance.
Note 3. Revenue
The Company generates revenue by providing transportation services for customers from an origin to a destination of the shipment. The Company and its customers enter into transportation service agreements that establish the terms, including prices, under which orders to purchase transportation services may be placed. When an agreement includes enforceable terms and conditions over a specified period, it is considered a contract, as it establishes enforceable rights and obligations.
Substantially all of the Company’s contracts with its customers are for a single performance obligation of providing self-driving and other transportation services, with the transaction price determined on a per mile rate basis. The transaction price may be defined in a transportation services agreement or negotiated with the customer prior to accepting the shipment order.
The Company recognizes revenue on its transportation services as goods are transported from the origin to the destination utilizing an over time model as the services are provided. The Company has an unconditional right to consideration from the customer in an amount that corresponds directly with the value of its performance, and as such the Company recognizes revenue in the amount to which the Company has a right to invoice the customer, when applicable.
Invoices are generally due 30 days after the invoice date. Receivables are recorded for the unconditional right to consideration when the related performance obligations have been fully satisfied. There are no significant financing components in our customer contracts.

Note 10. Earnings Per Share
The Company computes earnings per share of common stock using the two-class method required for participating securities. The participating securities did not impact the computation of earnings per share in the periods presented as no dividends were declared and the participating securities are not contractually obligated to share in losses.
The Company has two classes of common stock with identical liquidation and dividend rights, Class A and Class B. The net loss is allocated in a proportionate basis to each class of common stock and results in the same net loss per share.
The following table presents the potential common stock outstanding excluded from the computation of diluted loss per share because including them would have had an antidilutive effect (in millions):

Note 11. Commitments and Contingencies
From time to time the Company may be party to various claims in the normal course of business. Legal fees and other costs associated with such actions are expensed as incurred. The Company assesses the need to record a liability for litigation and loss contingencies. Reserve estimates are recorded when and if it is determined that a loss related to certain matters is both probable and reasonably estimable. No material loss contingencies were recorded in the three and six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024.
Note 12. Segment
The Company has one reportable segment managed on a consolidated basis by the Chief Executive Officer (CEO) who is the chief operating decision maker (“CODM”). In identifying one reportable segment, the Company considered the basis of organization for the development of the Aurora Driver, an advanced and scalable suite of self-driving hardware, software and data services designed as a platform to adapt and interoperate amongst vehicle types and applications.
The accounting policies of the segment are the same as those described in the summary of significant accounting policies. The CODM assesses performance and decides how to allocate resources based on net loss that is also reported on the income statement as consolidated net loss. The measure of segment assets is reported on the balance sheet as consolidated total assets.
The CODM allocates resources and evaluates performance based on net loss, which is the Company’s measure of segment profit or loss. The CODM considers budget to actual and year-over-year variances for net loss when making decisions about how to utilize the company’s resources.
In the second quarter of 2025, our CODM began to regularly review Revenue and Cost of revenue as a result of the successful launch of the Aurora Driver for Freight product.
Beginning in the second quarter of 2025, Cost of revenue and Other operating expenses now include depreciation and amortization which was previously reported in Other segment items. The table below has been updated to reflect these changes.

The following discussion and analysis of the financial condition and results of operations should be read together with the condensed consolidated financial statements (unaudited) included elsewhere in this Quarterly Report. This discussion contains forward-looking statements based upon current expectations that involve risks and uncertainties. Our actual results may differ materially from those anticipated in these forward-looking statements as a result of several factors, including those set forth in "Part I, Item 1A. Risk Factors” in our Annual Report and “Part II, Item 1A. Risk Factors" and under the heading “Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements” included elsewhere in this Quarterly Report.
Unless otherwise indicated or the context otherwise requires, references to “Aurora,” “we,” “us,” “our” and other similar terms in this section refer to Aurora Innovation, Inc. and its consolidated subsidiaries. Percentage amounts have not in all cases been calculated on the basis of rounded figures, but on the basis of such amounts prior to rounding. For this reason, percentage amounts may vary from those obtained by performing the same calculations using the figures in our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this Quarterly Report. Certain other amounts that appear in this Quarterly Report may not sum due to rounding.
Aurora’s Business
Aurora is developing the Aurora Driver based on what we believe to be the most advanced and scalable suite of self-driving hardware, software, and data services in the world to fundamentally transform the global transportation market. The Aurora Driver is designed as a platform to adapt and interoperate amongst vehicle types and applications. To date, it has been successfully integrated into numerous different vehicle platforms: from passenger vehicles to light commercial vehicles to Class 8 trucks. By creating one driver system for multiple vehicle types and use cases, Aurora’s capabilities in one market reinforce and strengthen its competitive advantages in others. For example, highway driving capabilities developed for trucking will carry over to highway segments driven by passenger vehicles in ride-hailing applications. We believe this approach will enable us to target and transform the transportation landscape, including trucking, passenger mobility, and local goods delivery market.
We expect that the Aurora Driver will ultimately be commercialized in a Driver as a Service (“DaaS”) business model, in which customers or third parties will purchase, manage, and maintain fleets directly, while subscribing to the Aurora Driver and a suite of related services. We do not intend to own nor operate a large number of vehicles ourselves. Throughout commercialization, we expect to earn revenue on a fee per mile basis. We intend to partner with OEMs, Tier 1 automotive suppliers, fleet operators, and other third parties to commercialize and support Aurora Driver-powered vehicles. We expect that these strategic partners will support activities such as vehicle and hardware manufacturing, financing and leasing, service and maintenance, parts replacement, facility ownership and operation, and other commercial and operational services as needed. We expect this DaaS model to enable an asset-light and high margin revenue stream for Aurora, while allowing us to scale more rapidly through partnerships. During the start of commercialization, though, we are operating our own logistics and mobility services, where we own or lease and operate a fleet of vehicles equipped with our Aurora Driver and provide transportation services to customers through driverless operations as well as with vehicle operators as needed. This level of control is useful during early commercialization as we define operational processes and playbooks for our partners.
We launched Aurora Driver for Freight, our driverless trucking subscription service first, as we believe that is where we can make the largest impact the fastest, given the massive industry demand, attractive unit economics, and the ability to deploy on high volume highway-focused routes. We plan to leverage the extensibility of the Aurora Driver to deploy and scale into the passenger mobility market with Aurora Driver for Rides, our driverless ride hailing subscription service, and in the longer-term the local goods delivery market.

Revenue was $1 million in the three months ended June 30, 2025 due to the commercial launch of Aurora Driver for Freight in April 2025.
Cost of revenue was $5 million in the three months ended June 30, 2025 due to the commercial launch of Aurora Driver for Freight in April 2025. Non-cash stock based compensation in cost of revenue was not significant.
Research and development expenses increased by $20 million, or 12%, to $190 million in the three months ended June 30, 2025 from $170 million in the three months ended June 30, 2024, primarily driven by an increase in personnel costs and hardware development costs, partially offset by expenses recognized as cost of revenue due to commercial launch in April 2025. Research and development expenses included non-cash stock-based compensation of $44 million and $32 million in the three months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively.
Selling, general and administrative expenses increased by $8 million, or 29%, to $36 million in the three months ended June 30, 2025 from $28 million in the three months ended June 30, 2024, primarily driven by an increase in personnel costs.

Liquidity and Capital Resources
As of June 30, 2025, our principal sources of liquidity were $206 million of cash and cash equivalents and $1,103 million of short-term investments, exclusive of restricted cash of $16 million. Investments consist of primarily U.S. Treasury securities as well as corporate bonds and commercial paper.
We have incurred negative cash flows from operating activities and significant losses from operations in the past. We have only recently started to generate revenue, and we do not expect to generate significant revenue until we reach commercial scale. We expect to continue to incur operating losses and that we will need to opportunistically raise additional capital to support the continued development and commercialization of the Aurora Driver at scale.
During the three months ended June 30, 2025, we offered and sold 57 million shares of Class A common stock through the ATM Program, raising $340 million in equity capital and receiving net proceeds of $331 million after transaction costs.
During the six months ended June 30, 2025, we offered and sold 67 million shares of Class A common stock through the ATM Program, raising $410 million in equity capital and receiving net proceeds of $399 million after transaction costs.
We expect our total liquidity will be sufficient to meet our working capital and capital expenditure requirements for a period of at least twelve months from the date of this Quarterly Report. Management will continue to evaluate the timing and nature of discretionary operating expenses, as necessary.
Worldwide economic conditions remain uncertain, including inflation volatility. The general economic and capital market conditions both in the U.S. and worldwide, have been volatile in the past. The capital and credit markets may not be available to support future capital raising activity on favorable terms. If economic conditions decline, our future cost of equity or debt capital and access to the capital markets could be adversely affected.

Cash Flows Used in Operating Activities
Net cash used in operating activities was $286 million for the six months ended June 30, 2025, a decrease of $40 million from $326 million for the six months ended June 30, 2024 primarily due to the annual bonus being settled in equity in the current year.
Cash Flows (Used In) Provided by Investing Activities
Net cash used in investing activities was $99 million for the six months ended June 30, 2025 compared to net cash provided by investing activities of $221 million for the six months ended June 30, 2024. The change was primarily due to increased purchases of investments partially offset by increased maturities of investments.
Cash Flows Provided by Financing Activities
Net cash provided by financing activities was $380 million for the six months ended June 30, 2025, an increase of $374 million from $6 million for the six months ended June 30, 2024, primarily due to proceeds from the ATM program as well as increased proceeds from the exercise of stock options, partially offset by the tax payments in connection with the net settlement of RSUs.

Contractual Obligations, Commitments and Contingencies
Aurora may be party to various claims within the normal course of business. Legal fees and other costs associated with such actions are expensed as incurred. We assess the need to record a liability for litigation and other loss contingencies, with reserve estimates recorded if we determine that a loss related to the matter is both probable and reasonably estimable. No material losses were recorded in the three and six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024.
Critical Accounting Estimates
Our condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles, or U.S. GAAP. Preparation of the financial statements requires our management to make judgments, estimates and assumptions that impact the reported amount of revenue and expenses, assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. We consider an accounting judgment, estimate or assumption to be critical when (1) the estimate or assumption is complex in nature or requires a high degree of judgment and (2) the use of different judgments, estimates and assumptions could have a material impact on our condensed consolidated financial statements. Our significant accounting policies are described in Note 2 to our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this Quarterly Report and in the notes to the consolidated financial statements included in Part II, Item 8 of the Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year-ended December 31, 2024. There have been no material changes to our critical accounting estimates since our Annual Report, except as described in Notes 2 and 3 to our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this Quarterly Report.
Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk
We are exposed to a variety of market and other risks, including the effects of changes in interest rates, and inflation, as well as risks to the availability of funding sources, hazard events, and specific asset risks.
Interest Rate Risk
Our results of operations are directly exposed to changes in interest rates, among other macroeconomic conditions. Interest rate risk is highly sensitive to many factors, including governmental monetary and tax policies, domestic and international economic and political considerations, and other factors beyond our control.
We do not believe that an increase or decrease in interest rates of 100-basis points would have a material effect on our business, financial condition or results of operations.
Inflation Risk
We do not believe that inflation has had a material effect on our business, financial condition or results of operations, other than its impact on the general economy. We continue to monitor these effects, including the impact of proposed and newly implemented tariffs. If our costs were to become subject to inflationary pressures, we may not be able to fully offset such higher costs through price increases. Our inability or failure to do so could harm our business, financial condition and results of operations.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
Disclosure controls and procedures are controls and other procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our reports filed or submitted under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms. Disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our reports filed or submitted under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to management, including our chief executive officer and chief financial officer, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
Our management evaluated, with the participation of our chief executive officer and chief financial officer (our “Certifying Officers”), the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as of June 30, 2025, pursuant to Rule 13a-15(b) under the Exchange Act. Based upon that evaluation, our Certifying Officers concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of June 30, 2025.
Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
In the fiscal quarter ended June 30, 2025, we designed and implemented processes to record revenue and cost of revenue. Other than the aforementioned, there was no change in our internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the fiscal quarter ended June 30, 2025 covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
Limitations on the Effectiveness of Controls
Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.

Part II - Other Information
Item 1. Legal Proceedings
We are from time to time subject to various claims, lawsuits and other legal and administrative proceedings arising in the ordinary course of business. However, we do not consider any such claims, lawsuits or proceedings that are currently pending, individually or in the aggregate, to be material to our business or likely to result in a material adverse effect on our future operating results, financial condition or cash flows.
Item 1A. Risk Factors
Our operations and financial results are subject to various risks and uncertainties, including those described in Part I, Item 1A, "Risk Factors" in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024, which could adversely affect our business, financial condition, results of operations, cash flows, and the trading price of our stock. Other than the risk factor set forth below, there have been no material changes from the risk factors previously disclosed in our Annual Report.
Our limited operating history makes it difficult to evaluate our future prospects and the risks and challenges we may encounter.
We began operations in 2017 and have been focused on developing self-driving technology ever since. This relatively limited operating history makes it difficult to evaluate our future prospects and the risks and challenges we may encounter. Risks and challenges we have faced or expect to face include our ability to:
design, develop, test, and validate our self-driving technology for commercial applications;
produce and deliver our technology at an acceptable level of safety and performance;
properly price our products and services;
plan for and manage capital expenditures for our current and future products;
hire, integrate and retain talented people at all levels of our organization;
forecast our revenue, budget for and manage our expenses;
attract new partners and customers and retain existing partners and customers;
navigate an evolving and complex regulatory environment;
manage our supply chain and supplier relationships related to our current and future products;
anticipate and respond to macroeconomic changes and changes in the markets in which we operate;
maintain and enhance the value of our reputation and brand;
effectively manage our growth and business operations, including the impacts of unforeseen market changes on our business;
develop and protect intellectual property rights; and
successfully develop new solutions, features, and applications to enhance the experience of partners and end-customers.
Furthermore, our operations have focused exclusively on research and development of our products and self-driving system through the fiscal quarter ended March 31, 2025. Although we first recognized revenue in the fiscal quarter ended June 30, 2025, we do not expect to generate significant revenue until after we achieve commercial scale. As such, our relatively limited operating history, combined with the need to transition from a company with a research and development focus to a company capable of supporting commercial activities, has the potential to intensify the risks and difficulties that we face.
24

Table of Contents
If we fail to address the risks and difficulties that we face, including those associated with the challenges listed above, as well as those described elsewhere in this “Risk Factors” section, in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2024 and this Quarterly Report, our business, financial condition and results of operations could be adversely affected. Further, because we have limited historical financial data and operate in a rapidly evolving market, any predictions about our future revenue and expenses may not be as accurate as they would be if we had a longer operating history or operated in a more predictable market. We have encountered in the past, and will encounter in the future, risks and uncertainties frequently experienced by growing companies with limited operating histories in rapidly changing industries. If our assumptions regarding these risks and uncertainties, which we use to plan and operate our business, are incorrect or change, or if we do not address these risks successfully, our results of operations could differ materially from our expectations and our business, financial condition and results of operations could be adversely affected.

Item 5. Other Information
ATM Offering
As previously disclosed, on February 14, 2025, we entered into a Sales Agreement (the “Sales Agreement”) with Cantor Fitzgerald & Co., TD Securities (USA) LLC and Allen & Company LLC, as sales agents (the “Sales Agents”), pursuant to which we may, from time to time, sell shares of our Class A common stock through the Sales Agents in an “at-the-market” offering (the “ATM Offering”).

As of the date hereof, we have offered and sold 69,105,334 shares of our Class A common stock in the ATM Offering for gross proceeds of $420,620,688.
We are filing amendment no. 1 to the Original Prospectus Supplement with the Securities and Exchange Commission, to be dated July 30, 2025 (the “Prospectus Supplement Amendment”), to increase the aggregate dollar amount of shares of Class A common stock that we may sell in the ATM Offering to $1,000,000,000, which consists of $79,379,312 remaining under the Original Prospectus Supplement, and an additional $920,620,688, under the Prospectus Supplement Amendment.
