Let’s put a drone on it.

The latest in this hey-look-at-me car trend comes from BYD, the company that just overtook Tesla in global EV sales. It recently demonstrated a DJI Mavic 3 Pro “Auto Docker” that lives atop a U8 SUV from luxury sub-brand YangWang. It safely stores the drone and contains a battery-swapping robot, all of which can be monitored and controlled from the infotainment system. Great if you’re an #SUVLIFE influencer, I guess.
