“Well, right now, we're focusing on delivering the software as a license. We're building autonomy engine that brings a new level of drone intelligence, basically, by providing the high higher level of autonomy that exists right now. And we're mostly focused on licensing it for the drone manufacturers or autopilot programs.”
