Pakistan claims that U.S. predator drones routinely bomb outdoor weddings, mistaking them for Al-Qaeda rallies. I couldn't immediately find an authoritative source, but if there's any truth to it this sort of phenomenon is probably to blame.
The drones aren't giving much in the way of self-direction. I'd guess this is more due to human error than anything else.
US predator drones don't fire automatically, yet.
