The need for humans to participate in armed conflicts could soon be over. The next generation of military hardware might be able to think and act for itself.

Military hardware will soon consist of "autonomous robots that know neither pity nor fear" — quite a step up from the current generation of UAVs and drones operated by humans from the safety of military bases hundreds, if not thousands, of miles away.

These fantasies are pure BS. Robots will always 'blue screen of death' you when you least want them to. The future actually is remote control killing: human beings video gaming to death other civilizations with drones from the comfort of their lazy boys.
