"and I have zero problem with killing them or the 'innocent bystanders' they are being assisted by"

Does that mean you do have a problem with the real innocents being killed? I can't believe you are naive enough to believe innocent civilians aren't killed in drone strikes.

If one agrees with drone strikes then one also accepts "collateral damage" will happen.

100% driverless Wonka-wagon toy cars? Oh Google, you're having a laugh

Insurance companies will decide

Eventually it will be shown that a computer driving a car is safer than a human. This may take some time (& development) but its not hard to believe considering some of the numpties on the road at the moment. At that point the insurance for driver-less cars will plummet and soar for the ones with drivers.

Laptop in name only

I've the non-3D version too, and I'd never attempt to use it as a laptop. Battery life is rubbish and it gets stupidly hot (HWMonitor recorded 96C), especially when playing games. As replacement desktop that I can carry around its great, and it was a good compromise over a Apple or Sony.
