Ring's Drone Cam will launch without manual flight controls after CBS crash footage

Ring confirmed its upcoming security Drone Cam will only fly pre-programmed autonomous routes via its 'AI Pilot' system, with no manual piloting option for users. The decision follows a CBS News demonstration in which founder Jamie Siminoff let a reporter manually fly an early prototype, which crashed twice, once reportedly due to a collision-avoidance malfunction and once after the drone lost internet connectivity and failed to auto-land as designed.
