MT @cesharon: autonomous? remote-controlled? remotely piloted? pilotless?

@kchangnyt@cesharon I don't see why unoccupied can't work. Sure not as crisp as unmanned but avoids the unacceptable taint of oppression.
@DrFunkySpoon @cesharon You’d never describe Curiosity as unoccupied, b/c obviously never designed to carry people. Same for cargo ship.

@kchangnyt@DrFunkySpoon@cesharon I wouldn't use "unmanned" to describe Curiosity. It might imply that it could have been "manned". -
@kchangnyt@DrFunkySpoon@cesharon (I use "robotic" for things like Curiosity that are robotic.)
