<2>Uber Co-founder Travis Kalanick’s Newest Venture: ‘Gainfully Employed Robots’
<3>The Rise of Robotics in the Food, Mining, and Transport Industries
Uber co-founder Travis Kalanick has launched a new venture that will focus on creating ‘gainfully employed robots’ for the food, mining, and transport industries, according to a report by Bloomberg.
“I left Uber in 2017 heartbroken,” writes Kalanick on the new company’s website. Kalanick resigned under pressure in 2017, and complains he was “torn away from an idea and a movement that I had poured my life into… I bled, but I did not perish. I got back up and fought my way back into the arena, back to my calling. Back to building. Digitizing the Physical World is my life’s work… “
Kalanick is remaking his real estate company, City Storage Systems, which owns ghost-kitchen operator CloudKitchens, and renaming it Atoms, according to a manifesto posted on the new company’s website.
