Ok so I'm half way through Hated in the Nation and you have lots of small robots obviously communicating via some kind of EM signal.
So why not put the subject somewhere that blocks the signal or if that fails somewhere they can't get in at least. :/
What does the A in ADI stand for?
shareWe don't know how autonomous they were, it could have been that if the signal were blocked they'd carry on with their mission. That's how I'd design it.

But still presumably they were still using gps to locate themselves I mean if they were able to fit image and facial recognition in something that small without connecting to a larger server then it was sale lot further in the future than we thought.
But even so a country house is still the worst place to hide someone I mean they could at least try or hide them somewhere where the bees couldn't easily see or track them.
I guess it was might of been a commentary on how modern police tactics aren't ready for the technological age but still you would have thought one of tech minded people would at least of mentioned something less silly.
I think initially they were working on the assumption that it was a very small number of bees which had been compromised, if the person wasn't at a known location they wouldn't have been able to get them. Knowing that it's every bee, yeah, Faraday cage, nuclear bunker, plane to another country whatever.

Maybe they would have GPS receivers to do more course navigation, but they might also have pathfinding code. Much like AI characters in video games however, in this context, it would probably be a vast improvement over what would be found in a game.

I wondered why not cover their face with a mask and change clothes. I believe it was just a theory - but if they thought they used face recognition off of social media than a simple mask or bag over the victim's head seems like it would prevent the bees from finding them. I mention clothes only because the bees seemed to be able to follow the woman into the upper room at the cottage and track victims beyond line of site so perhaps once acquired they added other identifiers - perhaps there was a pheromone component to the tracking as well.
