Autonomous weapons have in fact already been tested and proven to kill. They are called Tesla Model S with the autopilot option, 3 dead in beta testing.

No way am I ever going to drive a car with an autopilot option.

Most here are too lazy to watch the video.

I watched it earlier and it is disturbing.

It almost seems to be an exaggeration of current capabilities, but it may not be and even if it is an exaggeration, we will be there soon.

Have you watched Do You Trust This Computer? Elon Musk was promoting the documentary - I watched it. Pretty concerning stuff. The film addresses autonomous weapons at one point.

Currently you can take down most drones with a directed signal disabler using a raspberry pi, directional antenna, and wi-fi(similar to what Coop used in interstellar) but that's only effective against current tech using wifi itself. Something autonomous like swarm drones would each have independent processing and simple-AI so a signal disabler wouldn't work. I'm not knowledgeable enough on modern circuitry to know if it's possible to damage, but I would think a powerful enough EMP could disable the drones. You would definitely want to direct that magnetic field or risk damaging everything else, but that's pretty much the only practical way right now. I'm sure you can probably build an emp generator(you just need to create a powerful magnetic pulse) using simple hardware supplies, but you can probably size it up if you are willing to think big.
