Will there be a firefighter in the future?

摘要

I was talking to an RAAF pilot recently about how technology with drones has changed the role of a pilot, and he explained that they are moving towards pilots operating their aircraft with a joystick in a bunker thousands of kilometres from the frontline. Everything from bombing to reconnaissance and dog fights can be done remotely and often using artificial intelligence making decisions independently of the operator (pilot). When you think about it, drones in this case have become flying robots.
