    А мышей и крыс он сможет выловить в темном подвале при температуре -10?? Или хотя бы прибить их лазером или пулей и вытащить из помещения, что бы не запахло?? Тогда это бесполезный кусок пластика напичканный электроникой

    I don’t think robot pets is a replacement for a real pet. But robotic animals can be good for those who lives in houses where no animals are allowed or elderly people who have difficulties taking care of a real animal or those who suffer from allergies.

The autonomous vehicle space is starting to feel like a repeat of the 2016 hype cycle. Travis Kalanick is back building a robotics company, and the talent wars and capital are heating up the same way they did the first time around. The money’s flowing back, and it’s the people who lived through that first wave who are building the next one. 

Humble Robotics founder and CEO Eyal Cohen is one of them. Cohen was at Otto when Uber came calling, later followed Anthony Levandowski to Pronto, and after two decades bouncing between deep tech bets in the Bay Area, his new company came out of stealth in April with $24 million to build a fully autonomous, cabless electric hauler for freight. 

Cohen joins Kirsten Korosec on this episode of TechCrunch’s Equity podcast to talk about AV déjà vu and what he’s learned from 15 years of building startups across electrification, solar, and robotics.
