Is this the future? I report, you decide...

That's too cool! They had a big conference the other day in Austin about autonomous cars.....they say 15 years they will be here. You need to go somewhere? Get on a website, order the car, it pulls up, takes you where you need to go. Waits for you, then takes you home.

I so want one with the ability to handle a big enough payload to pick up a six pack and a couple of steaks from the grocery store about 8 blocks away!...Phone in a pre pay (tip included) fly over there, land, curbside grab and go...I so freakin want one!

Wouldn't that be great!

Pretty cool concept.  I want a quad cage like that for my Hubsan...think about it.

Oh, that gave me an idea of a good practical joke. Give an inexperienced person an unlinked remote and have someone, unseen and close by, take the Phantom off etc.  Can you imagine the response from the person holding the unlinked RC.

Thanks Gerry....I had no idea.  I found the Avatar change a long time ago

Was that for real or just a setup?

I P Freely love it.
Sounds like a good name for a seniors quad drivers gang!

That would be FREQUENTLY.

yessir DJI might have created the compass cal 2 step but we seniors invented the potty dance!

I have to limit myself to 1 cup of coffee at the diner now.  The state crew cut down my bathroom on the way home and I'll never make it all the way now.

Regardless of whether or not it is real it had me in stitches from laughing so hard.  (my imaginary wife even liked it so much she said we could have makeup sex from arguing earlier tonight!)

Dang, I'd have probably gone down to that had I known about it!

Just picture the scene..... that guy in England, who is being prosecuted for many counts of flying his Phantom over football grounds, trying to get one of these to fly....he would be red in the face trying to get his one brain cell to work. As science has proved you need at least two brain cells to cause a spark he would definitely fined that a massive challenge.

They're doing it all wrong!  Remember the 1982 Clint Eastwood movie "Firefox"?   He finally figures out you need to think in Russian to mentally control the fighter jet the Russians made.  Well, you just gotta think in Mandarin to make any RC device work!

Things are looking up in terms of drone manufacturers!
