One victim was trapped beneath the vehicle until bystanders and police lifted it, and both were taken to a hospital. Authorities suspended Hellobike's local robotaxi service, while police later collected evidence from the company and commissioned technical testing of the vehicle. The service has remained suspended.

Variants

A "variant" is an AI incident similar to a known case—it has the same causes, harms, and AI system. Instead of listing it separately, we group it under the first reported incident. Unlike other incidents, variants do not need to have been reported outside the AIID. Learn more from the research paper.
