“…Thus, we agree with Brey (2012), who argued that new technology must be thoroughly evaluated from many angles and from a sustainability perspective. Most of the ethical studies on UAS have focused on technology level and on the the negative dimensions, such as Agricultural Innovation and the Role of Institutions… safety, integrity, security of data/information, dehumanization, and potential misuse (Brennan et al 2016;Luppicini and So 2016;Clarke and Benett Moses 2014). Our study has focused on the other side of the coin and pointed towards the opportunities this technology offers to address challenges, such as future food production and environmental sustainability.…”

In 2015, observers argued that the fourth agricultural revolution had been initiated. This article focuses on one part of this high-tech revolution: the origin, development, applications, and user value of unmanned aerial systems (UAS). Institutional changes connected to the UAS innovation are analyzed, based on a Swedish case study. The methods included autoethnography. The theoretical frame was composed by four perspectives: innovation, institutions, sustainability, and ethics. UAS can help farmers cut costs and produce higher quantity with better quality, and also has environmental benefits. However, this promising innovation was exposed to institutional forces and suddenly became subordinated the Act of Camera Surveillance. This study illuminates how legislative institutions can inhibit responsible innovation. The study shows that different ethical perspectives can collide with each other.

“…For driverless cars, these tricky issues have already seen extensive discussion among ethicists and technologists (Maurer et al 2015). A similar discussion for drones is still missing (for a first contribution see Luppicini and So 2016).…”

“…UAS controlled by WiFi use IEEE 802.11 standards, which is vulnerable to security breaches (Vattapparamban et al, 2016). The outcome of a recent research suggests that, although the commercial use of UAS can improve lifestyle and increase efficiency, there is a need to invest more attention to convince the citizens (Luppicini and So, 2016). Even though most people would enjoy the improved lifestyle offered by technology, there should be clear and concise guidelines addressing the public concerns on the wide usage of UAS.…”

ABSTRACT:This vision paper addresses the challenges and explores the avenue of solutions regarding the use of Unmanned Aerial Systems (UAS) for transporting parcels in urban areas. We have already witnessed companies' delivering parcels using UAS in rural areas, but the challenge of utilizing them for an urban environment is eminent. Nevertheless, the increasing research on the various aspects of UAS, including their battery life, resistance to harsh weather conditions and sensing its environment foresee their common usage in the logistics industry, especially in an urban environment. In addition, the increasing trend on 3D city modelling offer new directions regarding realistic as well as light 3D city models that are easy to modify and distribute. Utilizing UAS for transporting parcels in an urban environment would be a disruptive technological achievement as our roads will be less congested which would lead to less air pollution as well as wasted money and time. In addition, parcels could potentially be delivered much faster. This paper argues, with the support of the state-of-the-art research, that UASs will be used for transporting parcels in an urban environment in the coming decades.
