An "unmanned" drone still has a pilot. That pilot is on the ground, flying the drone remotely. An "autonomous" drone is one that has no pilot anywhere. In neither case is anyone in harm's way.

Yeah, a MQ-9 Reaper for example has a ground-based pilot and payload specialist, working in conjunction with a command and control team and others.
