When i was in Iraq the drones were launched from a small field next to our motorpool, so Im sure they probably can just launch them from Ft. Hood.

I think our self driving vehicles are fine for what they are, but trying to get them to understand complex social agreements with how we operate in traffic and urban areas will always be difficult. But to use them for baron land with really no restrictions other then navigating the terrain, is already achieved.

This is awesome for building colonies on other planets.
