The Army Is Preparing To Send Driverless Vehicles Into Combat (vice.com)

The U.S. Army is getting ready to send driverless trucks into combat. "Next fall, [the Army's] 'Leader-Follower' technology will enable convoys of autonomous vehicles to follow behind one driven by a human," reports VICE News. "It's a direct response to the improvised explosive devices that caused nearly half the casualties in Iraq and Afghanistan." From the report: Much of the research and development of these technologies has been done at TARDEC, the Army's Tank Automotive Research, Development and Engineering Center, in Warren, Michigan. Typically human-driven trucks are outfitted with sensors and cameras through a TARDEC-created applique kit. They're not exactly robots, just regular military trucks that have been made a lot smarter. The technology is expected to be ready for field use in September 2019.

So the US is apparently planning to invade more countries, kill the local population, steal the resources and be under constant guerilla attack, for targeting and blowing up weddings and funerals, with the odd school bus thrown in for spice or is that spite.

So the US military planning for a future of driving convoys through occupied lands, with subjugated people fighting back, is this the plan for the entire world, perhaps South America next after the middle east.

So what new torture methods are being planned to align with the next convoy systems in occupied lands. The US was already using the world war 2 nazi tactic of murdering surrounding civilians if an attack occurred, perhaps concentration camps so you can more readily execute 1 in 10, you decimate the local population.

Only the USA would brag about developing robotics convoys for use in occupied countries, subjugated populace, the USA will DOMINATE the planet and kill all who oppose US corporate dominance. Let me guess the system is only for defensive purposes and it is what US citizens who are the threat.
