In a new incident reflecting the growing issues facing autonomous robots and self-driving technologies within cities, a delivery robot was completely destroyed after being run over by a train while stopped on railway tracks in the American city of Miami. A video of the incident went viral online. According to the Futurism website, the delivery robot failed to respond to the train's warning signals and the clear horn blast just moments before the collision, which led to the robot being crushed and completely destroyed on the tracks.
