Starship robot damages car, flees scene of crime

A Starship food delivery robot slid off a pavement in Helsinki, Finland, damaged a parked car and started to move away as if nothing had happened.

The Starship Technologies robot appeared to slip on a snowy pavement whilst making a delivery and bumped into a car, scratching it on two doors in the process. 

The bot was then lifted back onto the pavement by a passer-by, and it moved back on its route. 

The passer-by notified an emergency center about the "traffic accident," which passed the information to the police. 

Starship was criticised for not proving clear information on how to report incidents.
