VIDEO: We have all heard of autonomous or self-driving cars – but what about autonomous drones? They are very real and a new company Birdstop just decided to make Detroit their home, making drones designed to respond first.
Imagine this – drones perched on cell phone towers, utility polls, and government buildings – ready to react when called upon. They can be used as true first-responders that could provide intel into a fire, bridge repair, or active shooter emergency.
“We would like to be able to cut a little a of that hazard out of the way by giving them real time information, giving them eyes on the scene, before they get there, so they can plan their approach,” said CEO Keith Miao, Birdstop.
This is the vision of Keith Miao who seven years ago in Alabama, started the company Birdstop. “We build advanced drone technology that is operated from hundreds or thousands of miles away, safely,” he said.
