Automated systems have advanced from mere application in buildings or vehicles to performing smart task in aircrafts, spaceships, factories, and ships, etc. This review uses a multidisciplinary lens to examine the subject from a broader perspective. Research papers available in the web of science and Scopus in recent decade is examined to help the researcher pinpoint the benefits and consequences related to the use of ACS. The critical review of literatures led to the conclusion that ACS make life easier for humans, enhance economic growth and can be applied in almost all fields.
