International companies are spending millions of dollars on drone research and development for logistics. Companies like Google, Amazon, DHL, and Walmart are actively experimenting on autonomous systems and robotics. Drones and robots are used in the business strategies of these organizations to ensure last-mile delivery, which involves transporting packages straight from a depot to the ultimate customer, maintaining inventory, loading and unloading of trucks, order processing, and the like. But the usage of these advancements poses some critical ethical and legal issues. Authorities must pay attention to these challenges and difficulties in order to ensure their meaningful usage. This chapter, in this perspective, overviews the most significant legal and ethical concerns pertaining to the use of autonomous vehicles in smart businesses and logistics and provides recommendations for their effective utilization in future. 2026 by IGI Global Scientific Publishing.
