Bit of an old article, but an interesting one.

This is the first & only drone to receive FAA PT107 waiver to fly over crowds. Mainly due to it’s high safety level. This is targeted at the commercial market for professionals & media with a second focus to consumer. Their 1st generation has many new technologies & innovative designs.

Another New Drone from a small company... impressive technology, but this one is targeted at the consumer market and goes for about $2500. They'll have a tough climb to find the market.
Designed by some MIT people and hopefully their software/firmware/service will be better too.

It has very limited distance-to-subject range and mostly selfie for now, but shows promise. It has 13 cameras and flying 4 seconds ahead in its artificial intelligence to avoid and go around or through obstacles. Price is $2,500 though.
