One local said: “This is hilarious, I love it.
“I feel like the robot is angry and cursing at the road filled with potholes,” added another.

“Hit a bump so hard it’s language settings changed,” joked Luis.
Ryan said: “The Chinese voice speaking as it bounces past is sending me!”
The driverless delivery van was manufactured by Neolix, a Chinese company that produces Level Four autonomous delivery vehicles, also called ‘RoboVans’.

They carry out the final step in the supply chain, known as last-mile delivery, moving parcels from a local hub to the customer’s doorstep.
Neolix has delivered over 10,000 RoboVans to over 300 cities around the world, as reported by What’s The Jam.
There are reportedly over 1,200 autonomous vans operating in the city of Qingdao alone.
Together, they have accumulated over 31 million miles on the road.
The haywire vehicle in the video was a Neolix X3 model.
