By automating these tasks, Cyngn aims to help companies eliminate inefficiencies and redirect workers to higher-value responsibilities, potentially unlocking substantial cost savings and operational improvements.

Cyngn Inc. (Nasdaq: CYN) has been granted its 20th U.S. patent, showcasing continued innovation in autonomous vehicle technology. The new patent, U.S. Patent No. 12,032,099, introduces a method to maintain sensor data accuracy in moving autonomous vehicles by integrating advanced LiDAR and image technologies.

Key features of the patent include:

• Comprehensive environmental data capture
• Time delay compensation between data acquisition and processing
• Dynamic motion model generation based on real-time sensor movements
• Enhanced reliability and precision of sensor data in dynamic environments

This achievement follows 16 U.S. patents granted to Cyngn in 2023, reinforcing the company's commitment to building a robust intellectual property portfolio in the AV industry.

Cyngn Inc. (Nasdaq: CYN) has successfully regained compliance with Nasdaq's Capital Market's minimum bid price requirement of $1.00 per share. This ensures the company's continued listing and trading on Nasdaq. Cyngn has also decided not to proceed with the previously approved increase in authorized shares, demonstrating a commitment to maintaining a disciplined approach to capital structure and minimizing shareholder dilution.

CEO Lior Tal expressed satisfaction with regaining Nasdaq compliance and emphasized the company's dedication to maintaining shareholder trust and confidence. Cyngn remains focused on developing autonomous driving technology for industrial and commercial applications, aiming to deliver value to its shareholders through continued progress in this field.

Cyngn (Nasdaq: CYN) has announced the inclusion of Alta Equipment Group in its dealer network, enabling Alta to sell Cyngn's autonomous DriveMod Tugger. This partnership leverages Alta's extensive North American reach and robust sales record. The DriveMod Tugger integrates Cyngn's autonomous vehicle tech with Motrec's MT-160, known for its high towing capacity.

This move follows Cyngn's recent launch of the DriveMod Tugger and the Cyngn Dealer Network in fall 2023 and the addition of RobotLab. The decision came after a successful summit at Cyngn's Menlo Park headquarters. Cyngn aims to further grow its dealer network with more partners.

Cyngn announced the notice of allowance for its 21st U.S. patent, which enhances autonomous vehicle (AV) decision-making. This patent introduces an adaptive method for AVs to respond to detected objects. In 2023, Cyngn secured 16 U.S. patents, underscoring its commitment to innovation. CEO Lior Tal emphasized the company's focus on leading AV technology. This builds on previous milestones, including the NVIDIA-powered Computer Vision Technology in June and a 20th patent in April. This patent will bolster Cyngn's intellectual property portfolio, which includes extensive AV system advancements.

Cyngn announced a 1-for-100 reverse stock split of its outstanding Common Stock to regain compliance with Nasdaq's minimum bid price requirement. Approved by stockholders on June 25, 2024, the reverse split will be effective at 5 p.m. ET on July 3, 2024, with post-split trading starting July 5, 2024, under the symbol 'CYN' with a new CUSIP number 23257B 206. The reverse stock split will merge every 100 shares into 1, affecting all stockholders equally and proportionately adjusting equity awards and warrants. No fractional shares will be issued, with rounding up applied instead. Continental Stock Transfer and Trust will act as the exchange and transfer agent, and stockholders holding shares electronically need not take any action. More details are in Cyngn's definitive proxy statement filed with the SEC on May 21, 2024.

Cyngn (Nasdaq: CYN) has announced advancements in its proprietary computer vision technology for industrial autonomous machines, leveraging NVIDIA accelerated computing. The announcement highlights Cyngn's DriveMod solutions, which utilize NVIDIA hardware and CUDA acceleration libraries to develop advanced self-driving features. The DriveMod system is deployed on material handling vehicles from manufacturers like BYD and John Deere. Cyngn's collaboration with Arauco resulted in pre-orders of 100 DriveMod Forklifts, showcasing features such as pallet enumeration and detection of non-standard pallet pockets. Cyngn's progress reflects years of collaboration with NVIDIA, a testament to their cutting-edge technologies.

Cyngn has announced a important shareholder meeting on June 25, 2024. The meeting will focus on granting discretionary authority to the Board of Directors for a reverse stock split, aiming to comply with Nasdaq's $1 minimum bid price requirement before the late August deadline. Despite significant progress, Cyngn has not met this requirement organically, and a reverse split is now considered necessary.

Additionally, shareholders will vote on amending the articles of incorporation to increase authorized common stock from 200 million to 400 million shares. This increase is contingent on meeting the bid price requirement organically and will not be used alongside the reverse split. The company emphasizes the need for shareholder support to maintain access to capital and avoid down-listing to an over-the-counter exchange.

Cyngn announced significant milestones for the first quarter of 2024. Key achievements include joining John Deere's supply base and deploying DriveMod Tuggers in Dubuque, IA. The company renewed its contract with US Continental following a study revealing a 4x efficiency gain in their autonomous vehicles. Initial deployment was also completed with Rivian. Cyngn expanded its distributor network through a partnership with RobotLAB and aligned with Nvidia to enhance DriveMod's AI. The company premiered the DriveMod Tugger at MODEX alongside Motrec and secured its 19th US patent. They also launched an 'auto-unhitch' feature to further enhance operational efficiency.
