Travis Kalanick, the co-founder of Uber, says his startup Atoms aims to move into the robotaxi business and fulfill what he calls “unfinished business.” The comments indicate he is pursuing new efforts in autonomous vehicle services rather than returning to Uber directly.
According to reporting cited by PYMNTS, Kalanick is exploring robotaxi technology through Atoms by reconnecting with veterans from Uber’s autonomous vehicle team. The plan is framed as an attempt to work toward goals associated with Uber’s earlier push into self-driving cars. While one outlet focuses on Kalanick’s stated intent to complete “unfinished business,” other coverage emphasizes the reported strategy and personnel links to the former autonomous vehicles group, suggesting continuity in experience even as the company name and effort are new.
Together, the sources describe an initiative that is still in the planning or early development stage, with specifics such as timelines, partnerships, and operational scope not provided in the cited material.
