    The authors ``prove that the sub-Riemannian exponential map is not injective in any neighbourhood of certain critical points''. They start by explaining the historical background of this topic in the context of Finsler geometry; then, they thoroughly compare their achievement with analogous results in the context of Riemannian geometry and discuss open problems.
