These Gun-Shooting Robot Vehicles Are the Future of Urban War

So…what are the parameters of a war in which ones side is deploying robots but the robots are entering an urban area to fire at humans hiding in buildings?

How do we imagine accountability will be applied if those robots fire on civilians?

Do existing accountability structures for impersonal munitions deployment—aerial bombardment, drones strikes—tell us anything about the likely ethics of such military automation?

Because what I’m seeing is a future where people that can afford robots need to shoot insurgents while insisting’t that the AI’s algorithm had “good intel” that everyone hit was involved in the fight.
