I know they aren't the same company, but you'd think they would wait until they could iron the bugs out of XP and other PC operating systems before they make a robot that is capable of intelligently targetting and killing people. |

We've had drone guns for years. This one is pretty cool though. Normally the military (for weapons systems) run quite old hardware and proprietory OSes to ensure they are free of bugs/security exploits that could be dangerous. For example, some AA guns run on 386s! |

scary shit. if they were used in urban warfare, how could they recognise civilians? |

They wouldn't. That's why you're only supposed to use them in warzones or on borders. Target identification is the biggest problem with drone guns. I've heard of industrial processes where an acceptable success rate of optical recognition by a machine is as low as 60%! Obviously when the machine shoots bullets, anything less than 99% isn't on. Some of the current ones work on a "whitelist" principle. Everyone allowed near them has a wireless networked tag that stops the gun shooting at them. The guns shoot at everything else that moves. The problem is: a) if the wireless network fails, it has to stop working till the network is re-established (IE it failsafes). This is all well and good, but it's not too clever if one of the tags stops working (but the rest of the network is fine). b) any baddies within a couple of metres of a friendly is safe Other ones just have a forward facing arc in which they operate and can only be turned off from behind (so you would put a ring of them around your position and anyone approaching would be shot). |

if they were remote controlled it would be a lot safer than if they were driven by an AI. |

the problem is that a warzone is where the war is, and that doesn't exclude neither cities nor any other place where civilians may be hanging around. |

I dont approve as it denies people the joy of killing |

i was thinking about this a couple of days ago, while watching black hawk and thinking about war evolution in history... curious that now its real... It has a sophisticated pattern recognition which can detect the difference between humans and trees... well, we will kill ourselves, but at least the trees will survive... thats good news... |

True. You would hope they'd only be deployed in theatres where the civilian population was almost non existant. You'll always have the chance of some lone yak farmer wandering into the area, but at the risk sounding blase, we already have that to a worse degree with landmines and indeed, jumpy human soliders shooting at anything that isn't an obvious friendly (and even then the yanks will shoot at them). |

I think the biggest problem is the precident that it sets. Sending an armed mobile and intelligent automatic weapon into an area to patrol on its own... it leaves less for other countries to justify. Say south korea manufactures these, then north korea needs to follow suit. Then the US has to develop similar technology for use in case north korea sets them in action. Then everybody else does. |
