There was a thread on HN about drug smugglers who used commercially available drones to fly drugs from the northern coast of Morocco to somewhere inland in Spain. They'd charge the drone's battery in Morocco, load it with drugs, configure it to fly a specific path and land at a lonely spot inland in Spain. 0% remote control, 100% GPS waypoints. Programming a drone to fly to a given road and then along is easy without any remote control. Recognising fuel trucks using opencv left as an exercise for the reader.
