G.O.D. D.A.M.N. :shock:

That's all I have to say to this.

How they pulled off the "running man" is beyond me!!!

And in America,


FAA announces new system for remotely identifying and tracking drones | Ars Technica

The Federal Aviation Administration is implementing a new system that will allow comprehensive nationwide tracking of unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs)—commonly known as drones. The new system will enable regulators, law enforcement, and other interested parties to track drone movements and in some cases obtain identifying information. All new drones will be required to comply with the proposed rules within three years after the regulations go into effect—but that's still months away.

The lack of a comprehensive system for drone identification and tracking has been a long-standing barrier to the adoption of commercial drone technology. Companies like Amazon and UPS, for example, have long dreamed of making package deliveries using unmanned vehicles. But such efforts were blocked by law enforcement agencies worried about unidentified drones being used for terrorism, drug smuggling, or other crimes.

The new proposal will create a comprehensive realtime database with information about almost every unmanned vehicle in the sky. That will allow law enforcement to quickly identify registered vehicles. And it will make it easier to catch vehicles that are flying without authorization.

I can do that on my phone with a couple 40 buck drones from wal-mart ... pssshhh


Nah, that's freaking amazing. The programming skill, imagination, and talent that goes into something like this is just impressive as all hell!

The programming has to be very ingenious. There has to be many variables involved, such as wind and the distance between drones. I am sure some elements of A.I. is involved.

Believe it or not, no AI needed here. Stuff like wind and outside elements are actually accounted for in standard responses usually stored in the drone itself. Even a good one you get off the shelf will hold itself stable. Kind of like how a phone can tell how you are holding it because of (basically) weight sensors. But putting together so many parts, accommodating how the lights will play off each other, forming shapes that mean something to us; it's overwhelming. These guys did some amazing work here.

 

[ModerationNow!]

That genuinely was very impressive and cool. It's cool aesthetics like this, which the Chinese Communist Party uses as "something shiny" to temporarily divert attention from the suffering of millions of cultural and religious minorities who they forcibly "farm" for later organ harvesting, or who waste away in gulags.

That, and building more enormous coal fired power plants, and extracting mineral resources in the LEAST humane and LEAST environmentally responsible way possible, so that they can sell it on the international market at such low prices, that it prevents countries like the US from re-opening our own, environmentally responsible mines...

There are too many drones about.
