From the Q3 2021 EC Transcript (October 28, 2021)

> **Sumit Sharma** -- *Chief Executive Officer*
>
> So, our lidar software. This is the key, you know, this is a very bright jewel in the crown for MicroVision. **This is something that all of us should care a great deal about and I'm very, very excited about this**. We're working on something that would allow OEMs to start evaluating a system where more of the load from their computing can be shifted into our ASIC, to our algorithms that we've already developed, that we are going to develop and **we're going to actually demonstrate.**
>
> **And this is what the exciting news about the June 2022 timeline that I talked about previously and also touched upon today is that actually is a very, very big deal for us in the future.** And having a big software component besides our hardware component makes the company a lot more valuable. So, having our custom ASIC and software story getting solidified, that's important to all of us. **So, what's in those features? I think it's more -- we're going to demonstrate it.**
>
> I think, you know, we don't want our competition to listen to our earnings call and understand what features are coming in the future. But I can clearly say that I think I hope I've demonstrated over the last 18 months that I have a good insight into what's happening to this  industry and I can say with confidence that we are on a very good path and **our global management consulting partner also has vetted this out with us, of course, but also with OEMs. And they strongly, you know, agree with me that this is something that is going to be pretty impressive.**

and then from the Investment Community Webcast and Press Conference (January 5, 2022)

> Every OEM wants to see hardware and solution integrated with software, but **all of them have different scenarios that they're looking at. And we work very closely with them to understand all the scenarios.** We go through simulation to show them how our technology would have an advantage in those scenarios. Then of course, we do track testing. And then beyond that, of course, we would engage them and do it at their track when these -- **the test scenarios are specific to them, we will demonstrate at their track to them.**
>
> So I think those things are in play. As I've said before, by **June 2022**, **we expect to have track testing done and some data that we would be providing publicly. And of course, a lot of this data is also shared with our OEM and Tier 1 partners.** As far as the overall OEM -- every company is raising demonstrated capability, but **it's important to get the scenarios that they are actually focused on, and that's what we feel very comfortable that we have a very good understanding of the most challenging scenarios that they are faced with, and we feel confident that we are able to actually address their issues in those scenarios.** So I'm excited about that.
>
> The work is actively going right now. And of course, **in parallel, we're actively promoting the solution to the OEM**, meaning that we demonstrate what we can, simulation data, testing data as we go **based on each specific need that they have**. But I think that from a time line standpoint, I think nothing has changed. I still expect our team is very confident that we expect that by **June 2022** this year, that we would be able to demonstrate something. And of course, we'll talk more publicly about it as we are closer to that.

Probably that same guy that sold $20+ puts for next week.

I hope that guy doesn't have to pay one single put.

that's a lot of Cash they are setting on Fire


......but that has to be the reason - I want to stay optimistic as well

we have to wait and see (or not see)

$BBIG actually bounced off a key level of support

Filled gap to $3.77 today

Would play the break above $4.20 for a potential gap fill to $5.86 https://t.co/0nxA1ph5mj pic.twitter.com/pPdnRl80m6

It's nice to see some pump.

Hopefully draw in a bunch of FOMO.

If they could time that kind of PR at that time (if we get to that level again) I think we would rocket to what was previously expected in that $20-$25 range. Thats a lot of hopium and we still need to see what tomorrow brings. But it tomorrow pops off too, it could begin another fomo surge combined with short squeeze. Cue the popcorn.

If it drops a little tomorrow, I may grab some more shares. Currently have 500 and 5 calls.

We can only hope that the money they are burning right now expanding to Germany and all the new hires is not in vane and that there is more in the works than we are privy to.
