Whether the robot left the scene after the fact is basically irrelevant. What were the police going to do if the robot was still there when they turned up, question it?

Yes, of course. Take the serial number. Check, if the vehicle had any problems. Like you would do with a normal car after an accident. Request the data from the company. That doesn't really work if the robot flees
