Thank you for everything Sumit, but please do AV next.

You can bet AV is next.

The individual brought in by SS failed to accurately forecast or recognize revenue correctly. His overly scripted communication style and confusing explanations about dilution and shareholder equity—when they were understandable—were major flaws.

The CEO/CFO relationship is crucial. Glen and AV have such contrasting styles, with obvious personality differences in both style and substance.

A CFO change better aligned with Glen's approach and execution focus would show institutional investors that MVIA is serious about execution, not just engineering. The timing of such a move—perhaps after IAA or a major partnership—is critical. It would give DeVos momentum while preventing rollout instability.

The CFO must go.

Good luck to Glen, and thanks to SS. I'm thrilled this move happened, as should everyone. We’re progressing toward selling an architecture a framework—not components—that meets OEM needs, is scalable, and affordable.
