I think the point is: you can tell it to go from point A to point B
in a battlefield, and it goes by itself. Leading it on a leash would
defeat the purpose.
It is creepy!
Yeah, but it could be extremely useful. Leading it on a leash would
not only be inferior, but would distract the leader from being aware
of battlefield threats. Dangerous. This looks very much like a
prototype, cobbed together in some ways. It's a "proof of concept,"
and it works for that.
