The article highlights a number of social and psychological determinants of a person’s attitude to an unmanned vehicle. The main conclusions. The conducted theoretical research allows us to conclude that the attitude of an individual to the unmanned transport technologies is a multifactorial phenomenon that is formed under the infl uence of various psychosocial factors.
