Products: automation-operator. Risk band: Elevated RobotRisk index 16.7/100 (incidents/exposure, time-weighted) · 58th percentile of 62 other companies.
The record contains two entries: a September 2024 injury to an Arizona State University employee reportedly caused by a Starship delivery robot (severity 3), and a February 2024 incident in which a delivery robot damaged a parked car and left the scene (severity 2, malfunction). Both entries are press-driven, with no regulatory action recorded, and the seven-month interval between two distinct failure types indicates more than a single isolated event. Severity across the two entries is moderate, with one injury and one property-damage/malfunction event. Starship's index of 18.1 corresponds to the 59.7th percentile within the 'other' category, an elevated band reflecting the combination of an injury event and a separate malfunction relative to category peers. The record as given documents two distinct operational failure events within one year.
