U.S. Army to Test Remotely Piloted Robot Tanks
By Tom McKay on 14 Jul 2019 at 9:00AM
The U.S. Army—which has already been testing robotic squad vehicles like the Multi-Utility Tactical Transport (MUTT) and semi-autonomous targeting systems like the Advanced Targeting and Lethality Automated System (ATLAS)—says it will conduct live-fire testing of a new Robotic Combat Vehicle (RCV) built on M113 armoured personnel carrier chassis next year.
As first flagged by the Verge, an Army release on Thursday says U.S. troops will control the RCVs from a modified Bradley Fighting Vehicle called “Mission Enabler Technologies-Demonstrators, or MET-Ds.†Two of these vehicles will be used as remote control platforms for four of the modified M113s during the tests, the Army wrote:

What's to test? It was an idea to work for in 1941,and the technology to do so is a couple of decades old by now.
AFAIAC,tanks are nothing more than mobile coffins.
