A viral video shows a Chicago delivery robot apparently struggling after making a mess at a CTA bus stop on Sunday.

Food delivery robots in Chicago have turned the city’s sidewalks into a safety “hazard,” plowing into two bus shelters this week and colliding with fed-up pedestrians, according to reports. Locals are sounding the alarm after two robo couriers – one owned by Serve Robotics and the other by Coco Robotics – rammed into glass panels of two bus shelters on separate occasions while navigating the city’s sidewalks, leaving shattered debris strewn across the ground,Two robo couriers – one owned by Serve Robotics and the other by Coco Robotics – rammed into glass panels of two bus shelters on separate occasions this week.

Shocking footage of Sunday’s incident showed Serve’s rogue delivery bot “Nasir” smash into the glass panel of a bus shelter near West Grand and North Racine. The crash left shards of glass scattered on the sidewalk and atop the bot, which then tried to roll through the wreckage, Loyola’s student newspaper issues apology over Sheridan Gorman story — for correctly calling alleged killer an ‘illegal immigrant’Disgraced cop dramatically stares down fellow officer who shot her in the chest — as he claims she was homicidalShocking footage of Sunday’s incident showed Serve’s delivery bot “Nasir” smash into the glass panel of a bus shelter near West Grand and North Racine.The crash left shards of glass scattered on the sidewalk and atop the bot, which then tried to roll through the wreckage.“I hear the noise, so I look out, and I’m like, ‘What’s going on?’ and I see the robot,” nearby barber Anthony Spaulding said of Tuesday’s crash. “I said this is happening all the time, every time you look up, the robot comes through, bumping into people.”No one was injured in either crash, but residents fear future incidents could lead to serious harm. Both tech companies released statements saying they were aware of the incidents, quickly cleaned up the mess, and are investigating. Both Coco and Serve are also reportedly covering the cost of the repairs. “This is something we take seriously and is well outside the norm of our operations,” Coco said in a statement to CBS about its delivery robots, which are virtually monitored by humans. “Across more than one million miles of deliveries, this is the first time one of our robots has collided with a structure like this. Our robots operate at a top speed of about 5 miles per hour, and safety is a top priority in how we design and monitor our systems.” Serve – whose bots operate autonomously unless human intervention is needed – also noted the violent impact was an unusual occurrence.
