Aerial and aquatic drones have been very succesful in this war, why not terrestial ?
At the very least, you're not losing a crew every time a vehicle like this gets destroyed. Seems logical to pursue when you need every experienced operator you can get
because in those two previously mentioned environments, you can move in all 6 dimensions and it's the same thing, a fluid.
terrestrial is the interface between a fluid and a solid surface. Solid surfaces are super tricky.
RC cars seem to work fairly well. Human driven vehicles work fine. People play car driving PC games (Forza etc) Hell Ukraine has already fitted tractors & Combine Harvesters with remote control tech because of mines.
Why is this so different ?
