Morning Brew - Flying robots

Good afternoon—This is Ryan, your captain speaking. Today we’re coming to you live with a non-newsletter and launching the third installment of our Emerging Tech Brew Guide series. These guides dig into the key concepts, technical details, industry players, and data surrounding a specific emerging technology.

It’s a bird, it’s a plane...it’s one of the 1.7+ million drones registered with the U.S. government. Flying robots have been around for decades, but they’ve soared to new heights of technical capability and adoption in recent years.

In Your Guide to the Drone Age, I break down:

• The timeline of drone development
• Key technological concepts (and barriers)
• 10 drone-disrupted/enabled industries
• Rules and regulations, pushback and protest
• Past, present, and future adoption

Find the full free guide here. If you dig it, share the Brew’s magnum opus on drones far and wide. And let me know what you think!
