The development and deployment of drones and Cruise missiles involves the continuing development of the vision machine. Research on Cruise missiles is intrinsically linked to the development of vision machines.

Designers shouldn't aim to control, but to enable.
Death aims with fouler spiteAt fairer marks.
I like to question the minutia, to get to the essence of things. The minutia of life is all about design.
