A series of incidents involving delivery robots

This is not the only recent case to surface online. Earlier, a video appeared showing a courier on an electric vehicle racing a delivery robot: he overtook the rover, stopped, waited for it to pass, then accelerated and crashed into it. The consequences of the collision are unknown; the circumstances are being investigated. In addition, a video captured a delivery robot driving onto the roadway and failing to get over a speed bump. Even earlier, according to Gazeta.Ru, a delivery robot rammed a GAZelle near Saint Petersburg.
