Uber co-founder Travis Kalanick plans to re-enter ride-hailing with Atoms' robotaxi tech backed by $1.7B funding.

Travis Kalanick, Uber's co-founder, is preparing to return to the ride-hailing industry through his new startup, Atoms, which focuses on robotaxi technology. Atoms recently secured $1.7 billion in funding and is recruiting autonomous vehicle engineers, aiming to fulfill a long-held goal of advancing autonomous ride services. Uber has invested $100 million in Atoms and may use its technology for robotaxis on its platform, marking Kalanick's first ride-hailing involvement since leaving Uber's board in 2019. The startup also appointed Anthony Levandowski, a key figure in self-driving tech, to lead its autonomous vehicle efforts, signaling a strong push into industrial AI and automation.
