- Atoms, Travis Kalanick's company, is developing robotaxi technology and hired Anthony Levandowski after acquiring his company Pronto.
- Uber has invested $100 million in Atoms, which is gearing up for a hiring spree and could link up with Uber — the company Kalanick was ousted from.
Why it matters: Kalanick's re-entry into autonomous vehicles through Atoms, backed by $100 million from Uber — the company that ousted him — and staffed by Levandowski via the Pronto acquisition, sets up a possible closer link between Kalanick and his former employer on robotaxi technology.
