I don't know that is much different than a manned sub. I would assume a self destruct "scuttle" feature would be implemented. At my age a Life In Prison sentence is not much of a detrrent. |

Basically someone "hacking" the remote control system and seizing control. As I understand it, subs receive instructions when underwater not from satellites but from very specialized very low wave communications though the water; hypothetically a nation or organization could construct their own clandestine vey low wave communication system and take control of a drone submarine IF they learn how, either by espionage or trial and error. |

I believe that was built at the end of the 1800's. At my age a Life In Prison sentence is not much of a detrrent. |

Very true, but they would still have to break the encryption. Breaking encryption is very difficult these days especially if it has to be done in under a few years. I have an acquaintance that works at Sweet Tea in Georgia and he is able to tell some very fascinating stories (without getting into all of the classified stuff). At my age a Life In Prison sentence is not much of a detrrent. |

There's also possibility of unanticipated events. Like just recently there was a story of a food delivery robot which crossed through a police investigation area to deliver its meal. (Frankly, I would probably send an extra tip for that if it was my food) You believe in an invisible god, and dismiss people who say they are trans? Really? |

What and where is this "Sweet Tea" you refer to, and why would they have classified info? I found zero about it on a quick google. |

One of the most popular films of 1983 was WarGames which opens with a series of surprise nuclear attack drills, where a significant percentage of United States Air Force Strategic Missile Wing controllers prove unwilling to carry out orders for a missile launch. NORAD decides to automate their nuclear missiles. |

This movie was a huge huge part of the book Ready Player One. You had to know it inside and out to pass one of the contests in the book. I don't think this movie was even mentioned in the Ready Player One movie Sometimes we live no particular way but our own - Grateful Dead "Eyes of the World" |
