With the rapid development of unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) technology, its application in logistics distribution is gradually rising, but the lag of the relevant legal system leads to many problems in tort liability determination, licensing system and regulatory mechanism. This paper analyzes the infringement problems in UAV logistics distribution, including the legal blank of tort liability identification, the unclear definition of the subject of liability and the unclear attribution of the type of infringement. At the current stage, the lack of a unified licensing system and regulatory mechanism for UAV logistics distribution leads to the uncoordinated and inefficient development of the industry. We can provide legal protection for the healthy development of UAV logistics distribution by building a unified industry standard system, strengthening supervision and management mechanism and improving relevant laws and regulations.
