"Bad Big Brother" - Segment One\xa0
Skydio is best known for \u201cselfie drones.\u201d Now, it's seeking government contracts, as American officials shun the Chinese drone company - DJI.
New regulations and proposed legislation restrict government agencies from buying foreign drones, claiming they are a potential conduit for cyber-attacks. Skydio is happy to fill the void. \u201cWe feel a sense of opportunity, and responsibility,\u201d says Adam Bry, Skydio\u2019s CEO and a founder of Google\u2019s drone delivery project. His company recently won a contract with the Drug Enforcement Agency and is vying to become the Army\u2019s standard-issue short-range surveillance drone to help infantry peek over the next hill or look around corners in urban combat.
