RE: ten year prediction
Another problem is that there can be a news story the next day (NYC 09-11-2001 or Wuhan, China 12-31-2019 for example) that throws all your one year, much less ten year, forecasts into a crocked hat. |

Any self-driving vehicle likely should allow for manual override. Not just the State, but a malicious actor could take advantage of such a feature for all manner of mischief - potentially with fatal results. Quote:

Re: First TL-9 items
Same issue as with weather. You can make pretty good guesses about the weather 2 days in advance, and the climate in general in 2 decades. But when talking 2 weeks in the future the small changes are too chaotic to predict while the grand changes are too small to be worth talking about.

Also, they called it a "drone" and to me that implies the mounted rifle is controlled by a human operator rather than the robot's autonomous control. The military (and possibly the CIA) have been using armed aerial drones for years.

Re: First TL-9 items
Last time I checked, the CIA did indeed operate armed drones, but they were manned by USAF personnel, as the CIA isn't allowed to go round bombing people.

Re: First TL-9 items
Regarding medicine, what would antivirals like these developed for COVID be considered on the TL scale?:
