We have seen the problem with drones in two different problems in the middle East so far. The first problem is hand grenades set into small electric drones and then dropped up to 400 feet on unsuspecting people below (usually civilians and some soldiers) by ISIS. They developed a plastic tube where you pull the pin on the hand grenade and stuff it into the plastic tube and then they have a remote release when they are over the intended target. For Isis the idea was that they could be able to kill without losing any soldiers at all and if the drone survived it could be flown back to their area and reloaded as many times as the drone survived. Most of the time (especially at night with night vision equipped drones) the people didn't know even what hit them when they died because the drone was so quiet and basically impossible for them to see in the dark.
The 2nd problem was when Iran hit the Saudi Arabian Oil refinery (the biggest in Saudi Arabia) with a series of drones and blew the whole thing up which freaked the whole world out in regard to oil last fall.
So, drones and drones driven autonomously through Artificial intelligence will likely scare the hell out of everyone from now on as long as they exist and unless people have EMP generators to knock out their electronics they will continue to kill relentlessly through whoever owns them and uses them like drug dealers, terrorists and rogue nations from now on throughout at least this century.
