Crazy cool!

Hope the R1Ts can launch a drone from the Gear Tunnel. Now THAT would be an option I'd buy! It'd be like Blade Runner 2049!

“Alexa, protect the truck.”

Awesome.
Now if the navigation system could actually figure out how to get me where I want to go in the first place...

They should be able to do that entirely with the cameras on the vehicle.

Cameras can only see what’s not obstructed. If it’s trying to plan a route through offroad train, it needs to know what’s beyond what it can see lest it navigate you into something you cannot get through, or worse, cannot easily get out of.

Personally, I’d rather they spent their engineering resources on phantom drain and/or CarPlay. But what do I know.

Thanks for the share Jimmy. Definitely cool stuff.

Will it be optional equipment soon...???

Whenever somebody asked how the car gets that overhead image on the cameras page, I tell them that there's a drone overhead. Now it'll be true!
