That looks awesome. I wonder if it could get confused by branches, telegraph poles, etc and crash.

No crash avoidance - but will have it by launch ;0)

Ah, the Jeb Corliss wing fly. Awsome.

Nah, as yet it's 25mph, but at £316 it's great fun, so order placed!

I've had several drones (my last was a DJI Phantom with 3d gimbal, gopro, datalogging, live video etc etc) - this one is unique in that it can't be controlled/flown, and can only follow you. This is obviously both good and bad. For extreme sports (under 25mph!) this is awesome but yeah, it's no idea where it is due to no GPS or sensory perception so it will crash into stuff/people.

I love it though and would get one in a heartbeat if I was doing something where I could use it!

I think by launch, they are tipped to evolve a crash algorithm. But yes, sub 25mph is an issue, but tech wise, it's damn kewl...
