> technically, a drone has some capability for autonomous flight, at the very least something like the ability to travel from waypoint A to B without human control I dispute that. Radio controlled target drones predate the [semi] autonomous drones seen today. The first drone was a radio controlled de Havilland Tiger Moth called Queen Bee. The term 'drone' is a play on that name. Drone bees fly once then die, just as radio controlled airplanes being used as targets for anti-aircraft guns only fly once.
