I'm a big fan of Max Tegmark but this letter defines "autonomous weapons" so poorly that it covers land mines. Not that land mines are a good thing but they ain't no Teranis.

The impediments to autonomous weaponry are legal, not moral. Liability and culpability get really confusing without a human exercising kill authority.
