It seems like the Paladins might also have an automated mode or something, though, considering the Black Queen virus was actually able to make the Paladins attack people. They weren't being piloted.

The biggest evidence of this is that the more sleek model that was charging toward the students fell over and ceased to function when Ironwood's ship was destroyed and thus stopped broadcasting the virus' commands to the robots throughout the city. It would be oddly coincidental if it turned out that this mech was actually being piloted by a White Fang member who just happened to have the mech trip and fall and then not get back up right when all of the robots in the city powered off from the virus no longer controlling them.

Also, when Weiss and Velvet cut the Paladins up and destroyed them, there didn't appear to be anyone inside.
