These Boston dynamics robot dogs

But in reality, military aerial drones are much more terrifying. It sounds like a sci-fi dystopia that a billionaire could type your name, press a kill button, and within a few minutes a drone locates and bombs you. But this tech has already existed for over a decade, and is being used by the US in the Middle East and North Africa.

I don't think you just type a name and set it to go. Someone is remotely piloting that drone.
