Viral videos show Chicago delivery robots after shattering glass at CTA bus shelters

CHICAGO – Two separate delivery robots crashed into Chicago bus shelters over the last three days and one of them was captured on video trying to move through shattered glass.

The backstory:

On Sunday, Jason Peterson filmed the aftermath of the crash at the CTA Grand and Racine bus shelter along Racine Avenue in West Town.

The video shows the delivery robot named “Nasir” surrounded by broken glass after the shelter’s wall shattered. Pieces of glass also fell on top of the robot as it moves back and forth, apparently struggling to navigate through the debris.

The robot eventually came to a stop.

On Tuesday, a user on X posted another video that shows a Coco delivery robot after breaking the glass of the bus shelter at North Avenue and Larrabee Street in Old Town.

What they’re saying:

Peterson shared his viral video on TikTok. He joked in his caption that the “crime rate in Chicago is out of control.”
