"But it wouldn't be fair because these things (machines) can crash at any time, they can be spoofed, they can be hacked, they can get tackled in the industrial supply chain, they can take a bullet through the computer, human error in coding, you can have sensor problems, and who is responsible? Is it the manufacturers, the software engineers, the engineers, or is it the commander? In war, you need to know, if there's a mishap, who's responsible."
