Popular Mechanics: U.S. Army Develops a Robot Brain for Controlling Armored Vehicles
The Army can adapt all kinds of ground vehicles to an unmanned configuration.
* The U.S. Army is pouring a lot of time and effort into unmanned systems.
* Unmanned ground is more difficult than unmanned air.
* The research does not involve autonomous use of weapons, only mobility.
The U.S. Army has developed a standard set of hardware and software that, once installed in a human-vehicle, allows the vehicle to be operated remotely or even in a semi-autonomous fashion. The Army’s goal is unmanned fighting vehicles that can operate along manned fighting vehicles, and convoys of unmanned vehicles that can travel routes autonomously or following the lead of a human driver. The service faces significant challenges, however, as the two-dimensional aspect of unmanned ground is more difficult than unmanned air.

WNU Editor:I can only imagine the software that must be built to accommodate such a system.
