Tech Planet has exclusively learned that the autonomous driving startup Qingtian Smart Card, founded in 2021, is about to enter the liquidation and cancellation process.

According to internal emails, Qingtian Zhika announced the company's decision to close its business to all employees on May 26 this year, and gave each employee 20 days of paid time to find a job. Qingtian Zhika stated that for employees who have not submitted their resignation, they will pay the social security for June and pay their wages as of June 16th.

Founded in November 2021, Optimus Smart Card is a start-up enterprise dedicated to the research and development of autonomous truck technology and logistics transportation. Its founders are Pan Zhenhao and Sun Youhan, former employees of Xiaoma Zhixing. The company obtained the angel round investment of Wuyuan Capital at the beginning of 2022. It is worth noting that Wuyuan Capital is also the investor of Pony.ai.

In August 2022, Optimus Smart Card and Pony.ai were involved in an intellectual property dispute, and the two sides reached a settlement on June 10 this year.

Tech Planet learned from internal employees of Optimus Smart Card that in the second half of last year, Optimus Smart Card began to reduce employees' salaries. The year-end bonus of last year has not been paid yet, and the reason for the salary reduction at that time was due to the company's expected financing difficulties. In fact, as of now, there has been no new financing information disclosed by Qingtian Smart Card.

As a startup, the scale of Qingtian Smart Card is not large, and its peak period does not exceed 50 people. Tech Planet learned that on June 26th, the HR of Optimus Smart Card signed a resignation certificate with employees at the company headquarters, and there were security guards on site to maintain order.

The contact number for Tech Planet, Pan Zhenhao himself, was not answered. Tech Planet also texted the other party to inquire if the company has entered the liquidation and cancellation process, but has not received a response as of the time of publication.

Tech Planet has also contacted the HR and administration of Optimus Smart Card, and both parties have indicated that they can consult the company's official email if they have any questions. Tech Planet sent an email asking if the company has entered the liquidation and cancellation process, but as of the time of publication, no response has been received.
