Michigan Sen. Gary Peters told Axios’ Mike Allen Wednesday that a military general said “the F35 fighter that we’re building now will probably be the last aircraft fighter ever built that will have a human pilot.”
“Autonomy will start changing the face of warfare. You're going to have drones operating with autonomous function, perhaps autonomous tanks as well."— Sen. Peters at an Axios event
Why it matters: “We lost more soldiers in logistics operations … than we did in combat in Afghanistan,” Sen. Peters said. “Great advances are being made in autonomy … to save soldiers’ lives.”
