Abstract
The purpose of the article is to study the shortcomings of the regulatory framework for the use of specific autonomous vehicles (delivery robots), despite the maturity of the underlying technology. The object of the study is public relations in the field of road safety related to the development and operation of delivery robots with autonomous control. At the same time, the subject of the study is the regulatory legal acts underlying the development and functioning of autonomous unmanned robots. Within the framework of the research methodology, using the comparative legal method, the analysis of the main stages of development and formation of technologies for the use of delivery robots was carried out. Special attention is paid to the study of various studies to determine the main advantages of using autonomous unmanned robots.
Autonomous delivery robots are being developed all over the world, and the first prototypes are already being tested in Russia. Automatic delivery trucks are also used in Germany, the United Kingdom and the United States of America (USA), where they provide a promising solution to the problem of direct delivery of goods to the consumer, which is commonly referred to as «last mile» delivery.
Related regulatory issues range from data protection and liability for offenses to mundane areas such as traffic rules that a logistics service provider must take into account.
