1) Mines have had this problem for more than a hundred years, and mines from previous wars are still misidentifying targets to this day
2) Mines have also had this problem
3) Not sure this is even grounded in reality - WW2, Vietnam, Afghanistan, and Iraq wars showed no significant "concern for civilians abroad". WW1&2 showed the concern about life of a countries own soldiers was only important in as much as running out of them meant losing.
4) Seriously? If I make a machine that targets tanks, but I do it badly and it confuses them with school buses, the laws of wars would make me responsible. But that's also not a good argument in general, because the "laws of war" have only ever applied to the defeated.
