What use is the information in this case?

To me it can be summed up as: Lazers can be defeated (more like we are not willing to leave our best lazer tech lying around)

Signal blocking can be defeated

So we've resorted to flying bricks to defeat YOUR drones, don't even think of using them.

Oh and just remember they are presenting them in a "drone travels up" way....

But they could do the exact opposite to an "object" on the ground. (A highly deadly "penny off the empire state")

Kids love to fight, adults realise there are better solutions.

It's simply, propaganda. The issue with its audience is they are too young to realise they are being sold the next gen of weapons and it's being promoted in a positive light. If you don't understand why that is wrong then do a quick moral check in yourself.

I included that line thinking of America, it vastly reduces police interaction chance as well which gives me more thought.

I did think about that whilst I included farm vehicles but meant support rather than harvesters.

I wonder if any lessons have been used and applied from the farm industries automation which is great when applied to a specific area as opposed to general driving.

It's very GPS driven from what I'm aware with the accurate measuring GPS units being thousands of pounds which obviously restricts it for use in the consumer market.

You would think that's how it should be right? Not a chance. They'll find another reason to stiff you.

It'll be interesting to see how it pans out, with local city traffic being essentially reduced to all taxis and only the countryside 4x4 and farm vehicles being the last hold out of human control because of hilly terrain. Once the lorries go fully self-controlled (note: modern lorries have a lot of driver support aids as it is.) it'll only be a matter of time.

Totally agree that car incidents will go down dramatically, some police forces will see their entire income disappear. Soo many changes that we can't even imagine coming.

Those grills are going to be modder meme material, they are basically ai designed grills anyway. Think cartoonesque, Roger rabbit ultra-exaggerated grills with detail highlighted.

And this is how they will push everyone into driverless. Through insurance costs. Who would insure 1 human driver vs 100 bots, (once the systems have a few billion miles on them)

I mean, I'd just get on with creating my own filter system these days, how many thousands do I need?

Oh look cyclists are one similar homogeneous mass with no independent will. Get the fuck outta here
