They want to become an ultimately irrelevant company shelved inside a gigantic "conglomerate" and deprived of additional investment and scope?
Sadly that seems to be the fate of Boston Dynamics now.
- icebraining 9y agoWere they really deprived of investment? Atlas and Handle were released under Google aegis, and they're pretty impressive.

- TFortunato 9y agoNo worries, my fault that it didn't click that's what you meant! I read your comment and just had a moment where I was saying "I swear I saw Atlas before the google announcement", but they were close enough I thought my mind was playing tricks on me!
