"Generally, the vehicle will have a set of sensors to observe the environment, and will either autonomously make decisions about its behavior or pass the information to a human operator at a different location who will control the vehicle through teleoperation."
- backpropaganda 9y agoThis is a strawman. Elon's idea and what Andrew is countering is that killer robots can be unintentionally created by someone trying to do good. Evil robots could always be created by evil actors, and there is nothing interesting here.

- Ace17 9y agoNot saying that creating military killer robots counts as "trying to do good", however ... if we're talking about a terminator-like scenario, let's not forget the robots from the movie initially are human-designed military appliances.
