I don’t like Teslas on autopilot.

Reminds me of “Terminator 3” or “Robo Cop.”

What if the tracks get hacked? Or you don’t have air superiority?

5.56mm

Killing people makes their friends and relatives really angry.

It’s never just a game.

But the more we automate, the more we turn it into a video game

I agree with you......FWIW, I know a gal whose son is attending Adrian College in Michigan on a computer gaming scholarship. I found that surprising since I never heard of such a thing. Surprisingly, his scholarship is paying more than his brother who is attending college on a track scholarship......Go figure.

Apparently colleges are now adding "E-sports" to their programs.........

Is the goal here to make a superior tank, or a more expensive tank?
