>Recognizing road signs and making judgement calls on the above are not the same order of magnitude of complexity. On the contrary, self-driving vehicles go far beyond merely "recognizing road signs", and must make life and death judgement calls themselves. Recognizing a person holding a weapon is already in the realm of current machine vision capability. In an environment where robotic infantry is deployed, it's not a stretch to imagine friendly forces possessing equipment to facilitate friend/foe identification. Moreover, robotic infantry doesn't necessarily have to be lethal in the first place.
