    I think that's already inherent in laws 0-3. (The good doctor's name is
    spelt with an s, by the way, not a z.)

    Of course it is. I should have checked my bookshelf.

    So far, most drones are controlled by a human, rather than having

    Loitering munitions are closer, they look for a particular type of
    target then destroy it.
