Delivery robot runs a red light, injuring 9; Starship blames a billboard and denies fleeing the scene

On the evening of October 26 local time, a Starship delivery robot ran a red light in Tallinn, Estonia, causing a bus to brake suddenly and leading to a serious crash that injured 9 passengers. Bus cameras recorded the collision, and the robot left before police arrived. Starship COO Pepe Aaviksoo blamed dim evening light and a lit billboard behind the traffic light that confused the robot, said its light sensor had failed, and denied that it fled the scene. The case matters because it raises safety and accountability questions for autonomous delivery vehicles operating around pedestrians and traffic.
