Products: automation-operator. Risk band: Elevated RobotRisk index 25.0/100 (incidents/exposure, time-weighted) · 81th percentile of 62 other companies.
The record contains two entries: a fleet-wide recall over unexpected braking behavior, and a Department of Justice/SEC investigation opened after a pedestrian-dragging crash. Severity runs from 3 to 4, and the record combines a manufacturer-initiated corrective action with a federal investigative action, indicating both self-reported and externally imposed scrutiny. The index of 25.2 and 80.6th percentile place the company in the elevated band within the other category, though it ranks below the top-decile entities in the broader dataset. The record shows a compounding pattern: a safety-critical vehicle-control recall followed by federal investigation of a specific injury-causing incident, rather than a single standalone event.
