03Safety and incidents

What has gone wrong

No crashes, recalls or regulator reports in our sources. That is not proof none happened; we add them when a regulator or trusted outlet reports one.

How we placed it

The rule, not an opinion

Stages are worked out by published rules from the dated milestones above. We never rate robots, and no maker can pay to change a stage.

  1. 5

    Regulator-cleared or mass market

    A regulator has cleared it where approval applies: FDA clearance or approval for a medical robot, a permit to run with no one aboard for a self-driving vehicle, or an FAA approval for routine drone flights. Or: Widely sold: sales in the hundreds of thousands, or a product category you can buy in ordinary shops.

  2. 4

    Paying customersThis robot

    Delivered to customers who pay for it, beyond a trial, or a paid service the public can use.

    Placed by: Wolt, DoorDash's European arm, and Coco began robot deliveries in Turku, Finland (17 March 2026); DoorDash began offering Coco robot deliveries to customers in Los Angeles and Chicago (10 April 2025).

  3. 3

    Pilot

    Working with a named customer in a real setting, as a trial.

  4. 2

    Pre-orders

    Orders, reservations or deposits taken, with nothing delivered yet.

  5. 1

    Demo only

    Shown in videos, staged events or a factory, with no units working for customers.

What we couldn't confirm. The remote-driving source is from 2023; we could not confirm how much Coco's robots drive themselves in 2026. Turku and London launches are company-reported only.
