I always thought targeted assassination will be the primary use of autonomous weapons. And since I don't really see any obvious means of authoritative attribution, I'm not really sure how you would stop it? I think it will be ultra popular. Not only with cartels looking to rid themselves of annoyances in Mexico. Also with people looking to remove any mayor they don't like, or any police chief they don't like, or, more commonly, any boss they don't like, or even any neighbor they don't like. Most people in society would be almost a free target. Combine that with the fact that most people would have access to this tech and I could see tit-for-tat killings going on all over the place.
I'm really interested in seeing what law enforcement and military thinkers are working on to solve this problem. It really will be fascinating to watch this space, because I could see it getting out of hand on a time scale shorter than we'd at first anticipate.
- A4ET8a8uTh0 5y agoI remember listening to a guy on Business Radio, who was operating in this space. His business model was basically making sure that drones can't be easily disabled, jammed and so on along with the other side of the coin where 'bad guy' ( I so hate that phrase ) drones are contained quickly. That was two years ago. I assume this is part of the reason some drone regulations were implemented.
