Awesome, but my experience with current-gen pseudo-autonomous UAVs, these questions immediately come to mind: Can it follow you around the corner of a building

Awesome, but my experience with current-gen pseudo-autonomous UAVs, these questions immediately come to mind: Can it follow you around the corner of a building without clipping it? Can it avoid bumping into a tree? Will it climb above the trees to follow you through a wooded area? Can it avoid getting tangled in an overhead utility line?

https://www.lily.camera/terms https://www.lily.camera/terms Purchaser agrees to stay clear of anything in the range of the UAV, or anything it could possibly collide with such as power lines, buildings, other UAVs etc.

  Where would we be without you? Reading the terms like we all should be doing!

  As if there is a place where it can't possibly collide with anything! Oh, your Lily divebombed into the ground? Well, you shouldn't have launched it near the ground!

    Perhaps I should have been more verbose. The information being asked is nowhere to be found through the official channels. The only mention of collisions and objects is in the terms document. I believe it's safe to assume the Lily doesn't have that and they made sure to add clauses that shield them against such claims (that it failed to avoid collisions). I just tried to contribute with relevant information and got two sarcastic replies in return. Well done, folks.

      I read Zezima as being sincere, and Grue3 as being sarcastic towards the terms of service, not towards your helpful comment.

      There was a touch of sarcasm, but I didn't read it as being directed to you. Thank you very much for pointing the clause in the terms out. I sent an e-mail to the contact us link with the same questions I listed above, and the developers replied with this information and the note that the user can hit the center button on the wearable tag to put the UAV into hover mode to prevent collision.

all the more reasons while these devices are so cool this just entry level gear. drones are not going to win acceptance until they do what you want and stay out of your way and out of harm.

Here is another one for you: If any of the above fails, what about spare parts availability?
