Selfie drones and more fly into CES 2017

The drones each feature both battle lasers and sensors to detect when the they’ve been illuminated by another drone’s, so you can stage aerial battles. When a drone is “hit” it descends to the ground.

A drone that flies you

At the far more expensive end of the spectrum is the Ehang 184, drone designed to take a single occupant on short trips. I first saw this at last year’s CES, when the marketing pitch suggested that the drone could streamline the commutes of particularly rich individuals. A year later, prototypes have undergone more than 200 remotely operated flight tests in China, and the company is no longer pitching this as a particularly ostentatious form of personal transportation. The publicist I spoke to instead suggested higher-minded uses like medical transport.

But even if the $300,000 Ehang 184 ships as promised, I’m sure some dot-commer will buy one just to get around town. And, of course, will take a drone selfie in mid-flight.
