Well for ine autonomous weapons were already there. Landmines for one. Back in the stone age even with snares even meaning /rope/ is an autonomous weapon. There is no human in the loop (no pun intended for snares). It decides when to strike using physics and the answer is always "yes" if it is triggered. What makes the new "autonomous" weapons different is that they attempt target differentiation. Mobility becomes useful then when weapons systems can say "no" when presented a target. Since even the Military Industrial Complex, purveyor of unneeded bullshit which wantonly takes lives would find it impossible to sell a drone that goes around shooting missles at all targets after launch.
