DailyTech - Lockeed Martin Tests Centralized UAV Controller

DailyTech - Lockeed Martin Tests Centralized UAV Controller

Lockheed Martin is proud to announce it has successfully tested a new centralized controller device for unmanned vehicles. The successful tests enable the military to further expand the deployment of unmanned vehicles with less input from personnel.

This is just an intermediate step. At some point we will obviously want to have the personnel running the laptop replaced. These machines are inevitable but they are not good for democracy. They will allow a small group with large resources to build an operation that most of humanity will find very difficult to resist. This technology is similiar to an armored knight. Most of us will be similiar to peasants but much less useful.
