Autonomous is defined for the purposes of this section
What the document says“the term ``autonomous'' means a system designed to apply artificial intelligence, machine learning, computer vision, or other algorithms to accurately detect, identify, classify, and track items of interest in real time such that the system can make operational adjustments without the active engagement of personnel or continuous human command or control.”
Subsection (c) defines autonomous, with respect to capabilities, for the purposes of this section. The definition requires a system designed to apply artificial intelligence, machine learning, computer vision or other algorithms, to detect, identify, classify and track items of interest accurately and in real time, and to make operational adjustments without the active engagement of personnel or continuous human command or control.
What the document actually says“the term ``autonomous'' means a system designed to apply artificial intelligence, machine learning, computer vision, or other algorithms to accurately detect, identify, classify, and track items of interest in real time such that the system can make operational adjustments without the active engagement of personnel or continuous human command or control.”
A system works on its own when it uses smart software to spot things and follow them as they move. It must be able to change what it does with no one telling it to.
The word only has this meaning inside this part of the law. It is the test a watch tower has to pass. A tower that needs a person watching it does not meet it.
