Skydio Is A Drone That Dances Around Obstacles

Look at this blurry drone. That's as good a glimpse as we're likely to get for a while. Tossed by the wind, controlled by inexperienced pilots, or just flying at the wrong angle at the wrong time, quadcopters crash into their surroundings. While these crashes aren't a major risk to life and limb, they're certainly an obstacle to better drone use: No one wants to rely on a flying machine that crashes into obstacles. We've seen many proposed drone systems with some form of "sense and avoid" before, most recently DJI's Phantom 4, but none as elegant as the Skydio.
