Detroit, Michigan--(Newsfile Corp. - August 10, 2026) - Artificial Intelligence Technology Solutions, Inc. (OTCID: AITX) (the "Company"), a developer and operator of AI-driven security and productivity solutions for enterprise clients, along with its subsidiary Robotic Assistance Devices Mobile, Inc. (RAD-M), today commented on a widely circulated social media video showing a deployed ROAMEO autonomous security patrol vehicle encountering and ultimately clearing a speed bump while operating at a customer site.
AITX's ROAMEO autonomous security patrol vehicle is shown during a live deployment. A widely viewed speed bump encounter prompted AITX CEO Steve Reinharz to explain the engineering behind the robot's response and what viewers actually saw.

The brief video has generated significant online attention and discussion, offering an unusually public look at the realities of deploying autonomous mobile technology in complex, uncontrolled environments. While some viewers interpreted ROAMEO's repeated approach to the speed bump as hesitation, the vehicle's behavior reflects a deliberately conservative control strategy designed to progressively increase throttle when its commanded movement is not achieved.
ROAMEO's current throttle control is primarily tuned for flat surfaces, normal roadway inclines and smaller obstacles. When the vehicle encounters a steeper or more abrupt geometry requiring greater force to traverse, its control system recognizes the sustained difference between commanded and actual movement and progressively increases throttle output until sufficient force is available to clear the obstacle.
"People watched ROAMEO approach the speed bump, back away, try again and ultimately cross it," said Steve Reinharz, CEO/CTO and founder of AITX and its RAD subsidiaries. "What they were actually watching was autonomous vehicle control responding conservatively to a condition outside its typical operating parameters. ROAMEO recognized that its initial response was insufficient, increased its response and completed the maneuver. That conservative behavior is intentional because throttle and braking directly affect vehicle safety."
Complicating autonomous navigation further is the fact that speed bumps are far from uniform. Across the United States, their height, length, slope and profile can vary substantially depending on whether they are installed on public roadways, private drives or parking areas. Typical roadway speed humps are approximately 3 to 4 inches high, while shorter, more abrupt speed bumps found in parking lots and commercial driveways can be considerably taller, with real-world installations documented at heights reaching 7 inches. That variation means there is no single speed bump geometry against which an autonomous vehicle can simply be calibrated.
Readers interested in seeing the incident and hearing the technical explanation directly from AITX CEO Steve Reinharz are invited to watch the latest AITX Weekend Update, where Reinharz walks through the ROAMEO speed bump encounter, explains the vehicle's response and discusses the broader realities of developing autonomous navigation for real-world environments.
