  Awesome! Let's be crazy 2 minutes... It's the next Google street view ? Imagine you can rent a Drone in any city you want to explore it in realtime :)

    Sure, just need to add a login page, selecting an available drone, a payment method and off you go :-)

    Or a museum at night.

  I'm looking forward to the day when drones provide TV coverage of sporting events like the Tour de France. Where riders are assigned drones that are able to swarm safely above them, and when the riders make solo breakaways some of the drones tear off after them and give us close coverage. The cost savings over helicopters for these types of uses will be stunning.

    Same usecase, but with me skiing/snowboarding and my drone following me to record the downhill :-) I actually hope to have this prototyped for next season. Only issue is battery life.
