One of the biggest potential customer for autonomous drones is, of course, the military. While a couple of countries have signed on to a declaration to not pursue such tech, all major powers have not. Yes, autonomous drones can also do great things, but the temptation of not having to rely on remote control to execute (in every sense of the word) on a strategic objective is enormous. And, with the sky apparently being the limit on budget when it comes to arms, that's where this tech will end up first. Not a pretty picture!

I could not agree more!Except I'm more afraid of the militants than the military.
