Flock Is Quietly Selling Powerful Drones That Scan License Plates From the Sky

I’ve been waiting for this for a long time. Drones are cheap. Automating their flight is a super solved problem. At some point every cop car will have a drone on demand that can pop out and follow. They’ll launch some slow movers with big blades and just have them patrol. 30-40 minute flights.

The maximum viable elevation that you can hit a target at with a shotgun is ~40m, or ~55m with a very tight choke. Drones can comfortably operate much higher than that. I guess it might work from the roof of a skyscraper though.
