Your delivery robot just went viral for being a menace
Okay so, I'm scrolling on my phone, minding my business, and I see this video, right? And I'm like, *nah*, this can't be real. But it is. This little delivery robot, one of those ones that roll around West Town and River North, totally *smashed* a bus shelter on Chicago Avenue. Just went right through the glass, like it was a ghost or something. And the video shows it rolling away, all nonchalant, through the shattered pieces. People are wildin' out online, like, 3.6 million views on X! It's wild, man.
### These Robots Are Too Much
Nah nah nah, let me explain. These robots, they're supposed to be convenient, delivering food and groceries, right? But between this and the ones getting stuck on sidewalks in Humboldt Park, it's like, are they helping or just causing more problems? Imagine you're just waiting for the 66 bus, minding your own business, and some robot decides to redecorate the bus stop. What's next, they gonna start driving on the 606? It’s funny, yeah, but also, who's paying for that broken glass? That's our infrastructure, mi gente.
* **What happened:** A delivery robot crashed through a bus shelter in West Town. * **The aftermath:** The robot just kept going, rolling through the shattered glass. * **Viral sensation:** Video of the incident blew up online, getting millions of views. * **The real question:** Who's on the hook for repairs? And are these things actually safe?
For real though, it's a laugh, but it also makes you think about all these new technologies coming into our neighborhoods. We got enough to worry about with potholes on Ashland and the Red Line being slow, now we gotta watch out for rogue robots, too? Only in Shih-CAW-go, I swear.
Chi-Town on the wire — you already know. You gotta hear what the crew thinks about this robot chaos, catch 'em on mornings.live.
