A Fox News report said runner Becca Ostien came upon no fewer than twelve Coco delivery machines stacked on pavement along North Clark by Lincoln Park. The company labelled a pavement-deployment fault, said staff pulled the machines off in minutes, and said routing had been patched.
The Fox News piece said runner Becca Ostien came upon no fewer than twelve Coco machines stacked on the Lincoln Park pavement along North Clark. The video circulated; replies asked how a wheelchair or walker would pass the stack. The count is the outlet's report of what Ostien found, not a city inspection tally. The stretch is the Lincoln Park block named in that 19 September 2026 piece.[1]
In a statement to CyberGuy, Coco Robotics labelled the episode a pavement-deployment fault, said several machines changed heading together as they left the depot for the day's routes, and apologised. It said staff pulled the machines off the pavement in minutes, patched how they choose a heading, and put in guards so the stack would not recur. Those operational claims are the company's, relayed by Fox News, not an independent reconstruction of the control software.[1]
Coco described the stack as uncommon and put Chicago's two-year completed-run tally in the tens of thousands; that tally is the firm's own figure. No second unused publisher in this slot's AI pack carried its own page on the same pile-up.[1]
