No. Predator / Reaper drones are remotely piloted via satcoms link by a crew of two or three, typically pilot / sensor/ weapon operator. They are not autonomous with the exception of auto-pilot functions. The crew are typically embedded in a larger HQ where there may be political / legal cells to advise. If the target list is wrong it won’t help the targets but the human in the loop may help to avoid blowing up a school accidentally, depending on the amount of collateral damage that can be accepted for a given target.
