Skydio Leading the Way in America's Surge Toward the Top of the Drone Industry

Every week, Drones in America introduces listeners to guests who are leaders, influencers and experts from various areas to talk about America’s drone industry.

Topics discussed include the history of drones, new technology, policy and the rapidly-growing commercial market.

On this episode, host Grant Guillot sat down with leaders of the largest American drone manufacturer, Skydio. The CEO and Founder, Adam Bry, and the Head of Regulatory Affairs and Public Policy, Brendan Groves, joined the show to discuss the major announcements regarding the X2 line of enterprise drones and what that means for autonomous drones in the commercial and public safety segments.

Bry helped launch Google's drone program in the early 2010s and, in 2012, was concerned the FAA could potentially kill the drone industry. It has been an up-and-down roller coaster ride since then, but Bry is very optimistic about the regulatory landscape in the UAV industry and is excited by the way the policymaker decisions are trending.

"Overall, I am optimistic, but you kind of have to be when you start a company," Bry said of why he founded Skydio in 2014.

The Future of Autonomy

Bry likened the operation of drones to the early days of computing. When the computer industry first began, only specially trained experts and hackers were able to use the machines, and everything was done through the command prompt. But the first graphical user interface with "the first Mac and Windows totally changed the paradigm, [making it] a software-based experience accessible to way more people".
