Overview
Chinese autonomous driving company spun off from Great Wall Motor in 2019, developing L2 ADAS systems (HPilot) for passenger vehicles and L4 autonomous delivery vans (Xiaomo Tuo). CEO Gu Weihao, a Baidu Apollo veteran, led the company through multiple funding rounds totaling over $200M. In November 2025, Haomo.AI abruptly halted all operations, with employees told not to report to work and salaries delayed for months, after Great Wall Motor shifted its ADAS business to Momenta and DJI.
