9 Predictions By Sci-Fi Movies That Eerily Came True
4. Military Drones (Terminator 3)
Although there are conspiracy theorists who will tell you that murderous AI and killer robots are just around the corner, Terminator and its Judgement Day forecasts haven't come to pass just yet, but that doesn't mean there aren't aspects of these movies that are now a reality.
A good example is military drones. They appear throughout the series, notably in the third instalment Rise of the Machines. Thousands of weaponsied HK-Drones were produced by Cyberdyne Research Systems before Skynet came online, so the evil AI system had a fleet of sophisticated tactical aircraft at its disposal from the off.
One decade later, and drone technology is now widely used by the military, mostly for reconnaissance purposes, but unmanned combat aerial vehicles are becoming increasinly prevalent on the front line.
