Debatable. Putting too much trust into technological solutions to make the killing decisions for you may as well reduce oversight and transparency. After all, if the algorithm said that the guy was a terrorist and deserved to die, who would question it? It's supposedly an unbiased machine making the call, right?
Algorithmic transparency is really not understood enough to even consider autonomous warfare. If Google wants to pretend that it's doing something ethical when working in that space, most of their focus should be on that instead of making drones kill better.
