So it's got a bunch of advanced technology in it.

but it turns the drone into a fully autonomous device.

It can be flown remotely, I don't need a person on scene, and it turns the drone into a software-defined thing.

So I can fly it here, and the software will keep me safe.

So I can just cruise under this awning, or over, it's choice.

I can tap on an object that I might be interested in.

So now the drone is flying itself.

It's autonomously tracking that car.

So this is hands-off.

It's a very powerful capability.

So I'm going to stop this now and initiate an autonomous patrol of the area.

So that's cool, but why does it actually matter?

Well, I'm going to share with you a couple of stories.

So Oklahoma City Police Department has placed docked drones all over their city, and they're using them to respond to emergencies.

So in this instance, a train operator called 911 in a panic, afraid that he might have hit something or someone on the tracks.

Now, this is very difficult to access.

On the ground, this is probably an hour's search, but the drone got there in seconds.

It was able to find that, unfortunately, there was somebody on the tracks, but because of the drone, they knew exactly where he was, they were able to guide in first responders, and they saved this guy's life.

Another example.

This is from San Francisco.
