they drive under a bridge and lose the suspects that or the suspects shoot at the drone, which would be really cyberpunk

  Or the drone shoots the suspects, which would be really dystopian. We have two universes: 2077 or 1984

    Militarized human-driven drones have existed since the 80s. Militarized automated drones are being used today, in the wars currently happening. https://www.newscientist.com/article/2278852-drones-may-have-attacked-humans-fully-autonomously-for-the-first-time/ https://www.newscientist.com/article/2278852-drones-may-have... https://www.newscientist.com/article/2282656-israel-used-worlds-first-ai-guided-combat-drone-swarm-in-gaza-attacks/ https://www.newscientist.com/article/2282656-israel-used-wor...

      Arguably the V-2 rocket was the first unmanned military aircraft.

      Sure but there are many military weapons that are not used against one’s own citizens
      • kube-system 3y ago
        Right. I'm saying, 2077 tech exists today -- just some places decide not to use it.
        • jncfhnb 3y ago
          Seems… a little misleading to me. Cyberpunk’s central technical element is without a doubt the cybernetics.
          • kube-system 3y ago
            We have cybernetics today too, their aesthetic style is just more Medtronic than it is Blade Runner.

        Teargas is an interesting contrasting example.

          Mostly because it's useless against another army, like most chemical weapons.
          • anigbrowl 3y ago
            I mention it because it's illegal to deploy in a military context but OK to use on a domestic population.
