This is the second time in this thread that you've brought up the shortcomings of current drones as evidence against the use of future robots. And it's the second you've conflated human-operated drones, possessed of little intelligence or ability to learn, with hypothetical fully-autonomous robots.

Would these robots behave better than humans or human-controlled drones? That remains to be seen. But the emphasized shortcomings of current aerial drones are about as relevant to future aerial robots as RC toys are to self-deiving cars. (Much less future ground-based robots, which in uncertain situations might be able to choose a third option besides "shoot to kill" or "fly away".)
