Drones enable us to have a complete digital picture of the grid to prevent this kind of thing from happening.

And if it does happen, we can know about it sooner and faster and mitigate the response.

So flying cameras all over the place to get better information is super impactful, but the same kind of concept applies to drone delivery.

So companies like Zipline and Wing are using docked drones to make it safer and faster to get a burrito delivered to your doorstep.

So there is a mountain of technology under the hood that makes this stuff work.

Drones are deceptively small, but they're actually on par with self-driving cars and rocket ships in terms of the technical complexity it takes to make them work.

There's vibration and thermals and aerodynamics.

And the hardest part is making all this stuff work reliably when and where you need it.

But the key enabling technology is actually eyesight.

giving drones the same ability that people have to look out and see the world.

Our drones have very powerful computers built in that parallel our brains.

They've got deep neural networks that parallel our biological neural networks.

And the output is very similar to how humans see the world.

They know where things are, they know what they are, and they can use all of that information to make intelligent decisions.

So you might have noticed that I left a drone flying in Japan.

We should go ahead and check in on that.

So this drone is performing an autonomous inspection.

So this is a water tower that's in the area.

So I'm going to somewhat rudely interrupt it here.

So I click Stop.
