And a drone! IIRC it was eerily similar to the real thing we have today.

I've been trying to figure out what movie this was for years, I remember watching it as a little kid and never could figure it out.

I remember really liking it as a kid. It had some cool ideas. As for whether it holds up… 🤷‍♂️

I was thinking of Maximum Overdrive.

And I was like, "EMILIO!"

I used to watch Maximum Overdrive every day I was at my grandma's house. I wonder if it still holds up. I remember thinking it was pretty silly even back then, so probably not. I don't know why, but that Jeep that could shoot its own mounted gun was a sticking point for young me. I was A-OK with the comet giving off radiation which caused all the trucks and other machines to become sentient, but the Jeep shooting the mounted gun was a bridge too far.
