Essentially spent all the investment money, but didn't get ownership of the hardware design from the ee they contracted so had to start again. Still no product, and years after it was due to ship it's been superseded in terms of functionality by products available in the marketplace.

> Keep in mind these kits are going into 40+ year old cars that don’t have airbags, collapsible steering columns, crumple zones, etc.
