We've been letting other humans decide since the dawn of time, and look how that's turned out. Maybe we should let the robots have a chance.

If you program an AI drone to recognize ambulances and medics and forbid them from blowing them up, then you can be sure that they will never intentionally blow them up. That alone makes them superior to having a Mk. I Human holding the trigger, IMO.
