Terminator, Coming Soon To a War Near You ....

The U.S. Navy is going to launch an entirely autonomous drone warplane from the USS George H.W. Bush, and have it attempt to land on that carrier. The plane will have no pilot either on board or elsewhere operating it remotely.

Am I the only one who sees in this the early stages of the killer robot warfare portrayed in the Terminator movies? We thought that was pure science fiction ... at least when the films came out. See a New York Times article for details.
