Flying over the enemy

Think: Aptonomy. Better yet, think a CA-based startup offering an aerial alarm verification system that’s a combo of a drone, plus day- and night-vision cameras, plus artificial intelligence, plus navigational systems, all wrapped into a self flying ‘thingie’ that can record suspicious activity, shine a light on and/or communicate with intruders. Thank Mihail Pivtoraiko and Siddharth Sanan for this baby. Bottom Line: file under ‘competition from non-insurance players’ a la Freebird style, aka the one that lets you book a new ticket on any airlines at no additional cost when your flight is cancelled.
