And this concept of drone as first responder is taking off across the country.

So it started with a few agencies.

Hundreds of agencies are now using it.

By the end of this year, it'll be thousands.

And right now, about 5% of the U.S.

population lives within a two-minute flight of a Skydio drone to respond to an emergency.

But there's 240 million 911 calls every year in the US, and we're building towards a future where the default expectation for every emergency is that a drone shows up in a few seconds to provide targeted information, get better outcomes for everybody.

That's one example.

I'm going to show you a different category of use, though.

We have energy utility customers that are installing these in their substations.

So this is American Electric Power in Ohio.

They've got a great pioneering program.

They have the dock and the substation.

They can use it to perform both proactive and reactive inspections.

And on one of those flights, they spotted this.

So this is a distribution pole with signs of a short and a fire that they wouldn't have caught any other way.

So thanks to the drone footage, they knew exactly where it was.

They went in, they repaired it.

Why does this matter?

Well, some of the most devastating fires that we've had in the US have been the result of energy utility faults, where something breaks, something goes wrong, there's a short, it starts a fire.
