Abstract Development of modern technologies within the philosophy Industry 4.0 resp. Industry 5.0 brings new opportunities in terms of logistics management and implementation in practice as well as stand-alone autonomous systems. Related to this is the problem of identifying the possibility of using autonomous systems for the needs of building an autonomous logistical system. The aim of this paper is to point out the already existing autonomous systems in logistics practice and, finally, to find a suitable and, at the same time, functional physical model for the purpose of research and subsequent use. Therefore, the paper mainly focuses on current trends, functionality, and utilization of autonomous systems in practice. Keywords: industry 4.0, industry 5.0, smart logistics, industrial logistics, autonomous system JEL Classification: O14, O32, O33 1. Introduction The development of modern technologies under the name Industry 4.0 or Industry 5.0 brings new possibilities in terms of management and implementation of logistics in practice as well as independent autonomous systems. Related to this is the problem of identifying the possibility of using autonomous systems for the needs of building a logistical autonomous system. The article focuses on current trends, functionality, and use of autonomous systems in practice. 2. Current trends in the field of autonomous systems The main prerequisite for the functioning of intelligent transport systems is a fully functional Internet anywhere on the roads. In any case, Slovakia still has gaps in this, but coverage is still improving. For smart cars to be completely independent, they need high-speed internet so that they can exchange all the necessary data with the surrounding ecosystem. It is thus necessary to cover the mobile telecommunications network up to the 5G level. Autonomous vehicles are expected to bring, among other things, a dramatic drop in accidents. Every year, more than one million two hundred thousand people die in car accidents worldwide. In Europe alone, more than two million accidents occur every year. And driverless cars should reduce these numbers dramatically. Thanks to intelligent transport systems, better use of roads as well as parking spaces is also expected. For several years now, residents of larger cities have
