Overview
- City Storage Systems is now Atoms, with CloudKitchens integrated into the combined company.
- Atoms is organizing into three units: Atoms Food, Atoms Mining and Atoms Transport.
- Kalanick says Atoms will build a modular “wheelbase for robots” to power specialized, task‑specific machines rather than humanoids, aiming for “gainfully employed” robots.
- He said he is the largest investor in Pronto and is close to acquiring the autonomous mining startup founded by Anthony Levandowski.
- Reports of potential Uber backing remain unconfirmed, and Kalanick emphasized industrial use cases over moving people in the near term.
