Are autonomous offensive weapons the future? Should they be banned?

I am all for having weapons that our troops aren't directly inside of receiving fire during the operation as long as a troop is in direct control of the vehicle/weapon from another location and has the means to shut down or recall the device if necessary. I do not like the idea of having something pre-programmed to do everything on it's own without human interaction at some level though. Too many possibilities for operations gone wrong.

They are the future of military revolutions in technology.

Yeah, what could go wrong?
