How will parcels be delivered in the future?

In this research task students are asked to describe how drones and autonomous vehicles can be used for parcel deliveries. They have to consider the legal and ethical implications of using this type of technology and list the advantages and disadvantages of each. Finally they have to evaluate whether drones and autonomous vehicles should be used for deliveries.

The activity includes:

  • teacher notes
  • adaptable presentation
  • adaptable student activity sheet
