We received our first volume order for the automotive industry and launched a customer in the robotic lawnmower segment, both new use cases for us. In addition, the number of customer launches is increasing rapidly, and we have a very strong pipeline for launches in 2022. Therefore, we are now raising our target for customer launches from five to ten per quarter."
