I guess they are the best police on earth. I mean look at their cars and how they do these kinds of videos and public shows with their cars.

In complete honesty, the video was bad - the cuts were way too dynamic to understand what’s happening and everything was way too flashy. The driving wasn’t exactly superb either.

Why don’t they make a game in which you can choose character in every race, drone or car, and unlocking achievements and tracks…it would be so cool

It’s cool but there’s no way the drone actually won. That must’ve been staged because those things top out at like 90 whereas the Mclaren can more than double that. In the straights the drone wouldn’t be able to catch up

Took diffrent paths, had to be staged to get that many camera angles. I don’t believe any of those racing drones reach 90, atleast not horizontally. But a big thing is atleast my quadcopter anyway, can go from 35-40 to zero in the length of the quad, they are so maneuverable it feels like a video game and not real life

I fly these “drones” I prefer the word quadcopter but here are my observation on the video:

  1. There is no way the quad was faster than the 650S in a straight line.
  2. That kid wasn’t flying the quad.
  3. Definitely several takes because the range on race quads isn’t very far.
  4. 90-110 MPH isn’t unheard of for a race quad but that speed usually comes at a cost of agility.
