The thing those movies get wrong is the moments of suspense when the slaughterbot is chasing it's victim. They'll be dead before they even contemplate running.

  It’s not inconceivable that they’ll follow their victims for a bit to make sure that the face recognition doesn’t have a glitch. Apparently you can also recognize someone by the way they walk, so if you’ve recorded that before, getting them to run around for a bit provides an extra level of identification.

    Unless, of course, you don't care about collateral damage, in which case you might well kill first, verify second.

      Of course, but then you don’t use a stupid drone. You drop a hellfire missile from 10km up.

        If you're a nation state maybe. The question here is how far down the cost of drones like these will go, and how easy it will be to contain the technology.
