Abstract Fuzzy logic, an imprecision-tolerant intelligence device, is used in numerous smart and sustainable cities (SSCs) to strategize and make the right decisions based on inputs carrying no precise data. Even though fuzzy logic might be a promising way to resolve the allocation of resources, energy consumption, and traffic problems, there remain several ethical issues, legal aspects, and social challenges related to fuzzy logic use. This work is focused on analyzing concerns regarding fairness, bias, and transparency of smart city systems from an ethical point of view. It also delves into the legal issues arising from culpability as illustrated by the liability concerns and the need for a legal duty to provide a reasonable standard of care. Social outcomes, on the other hand, will be studied on the fate of public acceptance, ensuring proper access to vehicles by all people and improving safety measures 356within communities. This paper attempts to fill the gaps by accepting these fuzzy complexities and acquiring the necessary findings for effective, sustainable, and equitable fuzzy implementation in SSCs. © 2025 Jenny Stanford Publishing Pte.
