Listen up, tech enthusiasts and robot skeptics – Kyle Vogt is back, and he’s not letting a little autonomous vehicle drama stop his tech innovation train.

After the whole Cruise self-driving car fiasco that ended with his resignation, the serial entrepreneur is diving headfirst into a new venture: household robotics.

From Car Crashes to Chore Machines

Vogt’s new startup, The Bot Company, just secured a cool $150 million in funding, proving that in Silicon Valley, one epic fail doesn’t mean game over. Teaming up with Paril Jain (formerly of Tesla’s AI squad) and Luke Holoubek, Vogt is betting big on robots that can handle your least favorite domestic tasks.

Tech’s Favorite Serial Entrepreneur

This isn’t Vogt’s first rodeo. The guy who co-founded Cruise and sold it to General Motors is now pivoting from autonomous vehicles to autonomous housekeeping. Investors like Nat Friedman, Patrick Collison, and others are throwing serious cash at his vision of a robot that might actually make adulting easier.

The Future is Now (And Hopefully Doesn’t Drag Anything)

While his previous venture ended dramatically with a pedestrian-dragging incident, Vogt seems determined to prove that robots can be helpful, not horrifying. The Bot Company’s mission? Create a household robot that does chores without causing chaos – a revolutionary concept that might just save millennials from endless laundry and dish-washing.
