Starship delivery robot injured nine bus passengers in Tallinn

AI summary

A Starship Technologies delivery robot reportedly ran a red light in Tallinn, Estonia, on October 26, causing a bus to brake sharply and collide with the robot, injuring nine passengers. Bus cameras recorded the collision. COO Pepe Aaviksoo attributed the incident to dim lighting, a bright billboard, an ambiguous signal layout and a malfunctioning light sensor, while disputing the initial report that the robot left before police arrived.

In-depth insight

The reported collision highlights a safety failure involving an L4 delivery robot operating in a public street environment, although the incident details rely mainly on El Cronista and company statements.

IT之家 11 月 2 日消息,据 El Cronista 报道,当地时间 10 月 26 日晚,爱沙尼亚首都塔林的一辆送货无人车闯红灯,导致一辆公交车突然刹车,发生了一起严重的交通事故,导致 9 名乘客受伤。

公交车上的摄像头记录了两辆车相撞的瞬间。撞击后,无人车在警方到达前离开了现场。

开发该无人车的 Starship Technologies 公司将事故归咎于技术问题,公司首席运营官 Pepe Aaviksoo 表示,当时晚间光线昏暗,同时红绿灯后方的亮灯广告牌干扰了无人车的判断。他还说,从设备的视角看,公交车和车辆信号灯排列一致,这使得识别变得更加困难。

Aaviksoo 补充说 ,该设备的光线传感器未能正常工作,公司将着力修复此问题。这位高管表示:“有很多教训值得学习,但例外情况确实会发生。”

IT之家从报道获悉,Aaviksoo 否认了无人车肇事逃逸的说法。据他解释,无人车在现场停留了大约 10 分钟,然后联系了支持团队,把车从马路上移走。

根据官网介绍,Starship 无人车为 L4 级无人车,支持 99% 自主移动,已完成超千万次交付,可以用来运送热食、杂货和工业用品等。
