On the afternoon of November 22, autonomous driving solutions provider Haomo.AI (officially known as Haomo Technology Co., Ltd.) unexpectedly issued a work suspension notice to all employees.
In addition to employee feedback, new on-site information has surfaced online. A video posted by an alleged employee who visited the company on November 24 shows the office completely empty, with work facilities still in place and unfinished reimbursement matters visible. No personnel were seen in the office, and there were no signs of asset relocation.
The notice stated that due to the company’s operational situation, all employees of Haomo.AI and its subsidiaries would be suspended from work starting November 24, with the resumption date to be announced later. According to multiple sources, the company has not disclosed follow-up arrangements regarding salaries, compensation, social insurance, or housing provident funds. Some employees claimed they have not been paid for two months, and management has yet to communicate about future plans.
After the suspension notice was issued, employees were informed they would not need to report to work or clock in starting next week. Some alleged employees revealed that the company’s accounts have been frozen, and employees whose contracts expire at the end of the month were told they would not be renewed, with no compensation promised. They were also asked to resign voluntarily or risk not receiving proof of termination.
The company has not publicly responded to the situation.
Founded in 2019, Haomo.AI is positioned as an autonomous driving solutions provider. Public records show the company has completed seven rounds of financing, with investors including Great Wall Motors, Shougang Fund, Gaorong Capital, and JZ Capital, valuing it at over $1 billion. Tianyancha data indicates that Wei Jianjun is the actual controller, holding approximately 37% of shares. As of now, no abnormal changes have been recorded, and the company’s website remains updated.
Over the past year, the company has faced multiple controversies. In October 2023, rumors circulated about a delayed IPO, which Haomo.AI denied. In November 2023, reports of layoffs emerged, with the company stating it was a normal organizational adjustment. The latest public financing information dates back to December 2024.
Following the suspension notice, the company has yet to release an official statement regarding the reasons for the halt, employee arrangements, salary payments, or future business plans. Unverified claims among employees, such as "failure to meet performance targets," remain unconfirmed by the company.
As of publication, public records show no new irregularities for Haomo.AI on Tianyancha or its official website, and the company remains operational. Further details on employee arrangements and follow-up measures are pending official disclosure.
