            TBF though, there is at least a couple uses I can think of for something like this that isn’t violence.

            First one I came up with was sports coverage - if a fleet of these were deployed to track say a mountain bike race, they could assign one to each cyclist. Same for any other event where people are moving quickly through a wooded area.

            Even for SAR, being able to follow a person running through a bunch of obstacles is important if for instance that person is leading the drone to a casualty. The person can then remain with the victim while the drone can return and report the exact location to rescue crews.

            There’s probably more but that’s the first two I thought of.
