- The Financial Times reports that Atoms is preparing for a significant hiring spree and acquisitions to become a major player in the autonomous vehicle industry.
- Atoms has engaged in discussions with Uber about integrating its robotaxi technology, with Uber having already invested $100 million in the startup.
