Manufacturer describes Level 4 operation with remote assistance. Its autonomy percentage is not an independently measured result.

We have not personally tested this robot. Manufacturer claims and edited demonstrations are attributed to their sources; they do not establish routine reliability.

The open questions

Where it still needs a closer look.

  • Starship says remote assistants remain available when needed. Seeing a delivery route doesn't mean the service is available in every neighbourhood.
  • Delivery coverage is location-specific and must be checked in the app.
  • The manufacturer describes remote assistants on standby; do not equate autonomous operation with no human support.
