Skydio, The robotics company founded 4 years ago notable for its R1 autonomous drone which shoots 4K footage and could capture moments while following people around has now gotten an awesome feature which breaks ground in so many ways.

The drone can now follow moving cars while shooting footage, A new feature which will see it capturing much more better, daring and actionable moments which is a feature that can be likened to that of high budget Hollywood studios when making scenes involving automobiles.

This new feature dubbed “Car Follow” comes as a cinematic mode which films its users on four wheels and was made possible with the training of the drones’ neural networks using a huge number data sets of different car images, The drone will make use of its 13 cameras for the feature of capturing nice footage and also autonomously guiding its locomotion from different positions.

The self-flying camera will gain this feature after a software update which rolled out today for the R1 users, This will give all users an amazing ability of capturing all the stunning autocross racing, road trips, safe car races and will also provide film-makers with a very useful tool at a way much more cheaper cost.

The R1 is one of the best drones on the market right now from customer surveys and reviews, Skydio did a very good work in providing this amazing high-end drone which comes at a huge price of $2,499 but is totally worth that amount which we’re pretty sure will go down with time as more manufacturing efficiency takes place.

Skydio was co-founded by Abraham Bachrach, Matt Donahoe and Adam Bry and has raised $70 million in funding till date.
