Earlier this year, chipmaker Qualcomm announced it would be producing a custom version of its widely-used Snapdragon chipset for drones. The company says that its Snapdragon Flight processors will bring down the cost of drones, improve their battery life, and make advanced features more widely available. This new video from Qualcomm offers a preview of Snapdragon Flight's capabilities, showing a drone autonomously dodging obstacles and mapping out 3D spaces with built-in sensors. (A warning, though, the music is pretty atrocious.)
A $230 pocket-sized drone that can only fly for three minutes.
In the span of 13 months, eight drones have crashed.
Qualcomm’s latest SoC for Windows laptops is now official, and it’s called the Snapdragon 8cx Gen 3 Compute Platform.
