cory: our drone reporter does not have a drone? alan: i am ashamed. sorry.ot mean to call you out in public. that speaks to it. that is the problem you are trying to solve, the management of multiple drones when they seem unmanageable. ben: i think there are practical solutions to a lot of these problems. one of the issues identified in trying to get drones to flyover people is the law enforcement community was concerned they may not be able to identify the operator of the drone remotely. there are relatively simple solutions to that. they are available in different chunks depending on the type of operation. i think when the industry can get around standards for those solutions and persuade regulators this is a safe way to operate, we will be there. i'm expecting this rule will be evolved in the summertime and we will see more flights over people. cory: besides the fact that you are awesome and the air map is awesome, what does it mean that microsoft and qualcomm are invested with you? ben: microsoft is a leading technology company around cloud computing, en
