Hot on the heel of Tesla revealing thenew self-governing driving modefor its galvanic cars , Parrot has just foretell a $ 20 upgrade for itsBebop dronethat lets amateur ( and inexpert ) pilots easy plot a course of instruction on a map that the slyness will autonomously succeed using GPS .
At just $ 500 theBebopis one of the more low-priced ways to try your bridge player at drone pipe photography , thanks to a 14 - megapixel , full HD tv camera already onboard . But piloting a poke swimmingly so you could capture some breathtaking footage take some practice — a fortune of pattern . So Parrot is introducing the unexampled Flight Plan mode , usable as a $ 20 unlockable feature article in the FreeFlight 3 piloting app , that does all of the hard flying oeuvre for you .
The pilot simply uses a function in the FreeFlight 3 app to first select a departure point , and then additional waypoints to make a route for the pilotless aircraft to autonomously wing . In between those points the pilot can also make change to the Bebop drone pipe ’s speed , altitude , and commission it ’s signal to see it always has an ideal camera angle .

Accuracy is promised to be within about six feet of each waypoint , and the drug user is able to save up , reload , and even edit routes in the app later on on . At any peak during a escape the pilot can also take over manual control of the drone pipe to help keep it out of worry , or to temporarily divert its flying route .
In our brushup of theParrot Bebop dronewe found that rely on the FreeFlight 3 app to actually fly the craft was the biggest , almost insuperable challenge . But the Flight Plan musical mode sounds like it could immensely improve the utility of the drone if you design to use it entirely for aerial photography . If you ’re just out to have fun and fly it around , though , why would you ever want to put it on cruise ascendance ? [ Parrot ]
