Nah, I wouldn't worry about Tesla. It's Honda and Google to look out for. Google will make the brain and Honda will build the body.

Round 2: North Dakota cops will be first in nation to use weaponized drones:

http://www.engadget.com/2015/08/27/north-dakota-cops-will-be-first-in-nation-to-use-weaponized-dron/

Anything classified as "less than lethal" is now allowed. That means cops can outfit their UAVs with everything from rubber bullets, pepper spray and Tasers to tear gas and sound cannons. And, as The Guardian points out, "less than lethal" police Tasers have already killed 39 Americans this year alone.

Knowing the great common sense folks of North Dakota, that crap will fail. But I digress, Bismark's fire Dept. is using full blown encryption for their radios? WTF! The flipping fire Department? Encryption? Stupid! Just like the town near me, Fort Collins going full blown encryption. I can see SWAT, internal affairs and drug ops encrypted but not the whole damn thing.

Anyways... more bastardized tax money bull shit.

I honestly never figured the militarization of police would actually get to that point. Next step is actual lethal drones. Use autonomous drones to interface with the existing face recognition system and other tracking the NSA has in place and you can have a police force that is fully automated by robots. The drone will know exactly where a person is and go seek them and fire once they detect the face. At the beginning there will be lot of false positives, but it's not like it's any worse than all the times the FBI gets the wrong house and practically gives a mother and their kid a heart attack and permanent psychological damage after using a chain saw or other extreme force to break into their house.

Apple already has exploding iphones.
And guys with skinny jeans, hmmm doesn't seem like such a good idea to have them right next to, um you know. ;)

:biggrin:

They surreptitiously use the front cam to positively ID you, then send the zap! Those insulating bands aren't just for antenna dielectrics.! There's enough juice in a fully charged phone to zap the crap out of you. Then when you get in your car and try to run they lock the doors remotely and deploy the airbags making you feel like you just got pummeled by Mike Tyson!

So how's the evil island lair? Coming along nicely I assume.

HAHAHAHA! Reminds me of some of that early 1900's footage of people trying to build flying machines.

In the future there are HK VTOL's. All have a plasma cannon and some can lift a 747 jet engine.

Everything has its place.
Humans cannot control what they have coming for them.
But they are in 100% control of how they react to it.
Problem is majority don't know how. ;)

Don't worry, Boeing is giving them portable lasers. We'll die faster.

Looks more like the Machines of The Matrix to me.

when the cars will be self-driving it will certainly find its application.
