China is testing driverless tanks which could be equipped with artificial intelligence.
State television showed images this week of the unmanned tanks undergoing testing, South China Morning Post reports, referring to The Global Times.
Footage showed a Type 59 tank being driven by remote control, in what the paper said was the first time a Chinese-made unmanned tank has been shown in a public forum.
The Type 59 tank is based on an old Soviet model first used in China in the 1950's and has been produced in large numbers and has a long service life.
