Analyst brief

Sidewalk-delivery robotics shows 13 incidents across 5 of 16 tracked companies, a 31-percent record rate on a small population. Crash is the dominant type at 6 of 13 entries, with injury (3), disruption (2), fire (1), and shutdown (1) making up the remainder. Severity concentrates at the low-to-moderate end, with 7 of 13 entries at tier 2 and 3 at tier 1, and only 3 entries at tiers 3 and 4 combined, indicating a record weighted toward minor operational incidents. Serve Robotics, Coco Robotics, and Starship account for the bulk of named entities, consistent with these being the category's most deployed fleets.

Company risk ranking

Index 0-100: each documented incident is weighted by severity and by how well-sourced it is, discounted as it ages (half its weight every 3 years), then summed per company and scaled on a log curve so the highest-risk company worldwide is 100. Rank in industry: position among companies in the same industry that have at least one documented incident. Band groups the index: Critical (75+), High (45-74), Elevated (15-44), Low (under 15 with at least one incident); None documented means no public incident was found, which is not proof of safety.
