Adam Bry discusses public perception of drones in law enforcement

R10 Flying, like an indoor tactical situation. Yeah. I mean, look, the R10 gets the shit beaten out of it. We've had bad guys grab it by the gimbal head and throw it out the window and break its neck, so to speak. We've had people go after it with baseball bats. We've had drones get shot. To me, that's all great news. Right. The alternative there is a police officer or a citizen is getting the violence aimed at them. So I actually love it when our drones are victims of violence because it means that the chances of a person being a victim of violence are much lower. That's kind of the whole point. We're building thousands a month here. Who cares at the end of the day? And our terms and conditions with our customers actually take this into account. If a drone gets injured or killed in the line of duty, we're happy to replace it. How often are you trying to refocus the entire team towards. Here's what the customer is actually experiencing? Totally. It's a huge, huge part of what we do, and it's actually interesting. So, like, when we started working with public safety, so we work with a lot of different kinds of customers, public safety is typically the most controversial. And we started working with public safety in the summer of 2020, right after George Floyd, which was like maybe one of the most polarizing moments in the company's in the country's history. Right. In terms of attitude towards law enforcement. And just the thought of like a Silicon Valley company selling technology to public safety was like total anathema. We got all kinds of articles written about how could you guys do this and how evil it. And I would say prevailing attitudes amongst tech people in Silicon Valley at the time were somewhere between mixed and negative, that this was a worthwhile thing to be doing. And internally at skydio, it was polarizing. And I think there's a lot of reasonable concerns to be had. What has happened over time, and I've seen it over and over again, it's pretty deterministic. Even people who are generally concerned or skeptical of public safety, the more that they're here and the more that they actually see what, what it means to work with public safety and the missions that those customers have and how they use our products, I would say people not. Not go from being like, sort of skeptical to okay with it, but skeptical to like, champions of it. Champions of it, proud of it. And so it's a very. And then. So that's part of it, I think. The other, like, for me, and I think many of us at skydio, it's hugely motivating to see how our products are being used. And then it also just, I think, is key to developing good products. And so we do a lot to have as many people at SK to you as a.
