Want. Unclear if it's Tesla's LTE or its own though.

The first compatible vehicles for Ring Car Connect are @Tesla models 3, X, S, & Y. Watch Tesla Sentry Mode and recorded driving footage in the Ring app over wifi or from anywhere via LTE (with an optional connectivity plan). pic.twitter.com/rbf5seP4Ep

Ring is a pernicious surveillance system & widespread adoption is going to cause tremendous collective harm to privacy & civil liberties. I've been trying to anticipate the next step in the function creep + normalization slippery slope shuffle. Beyond my dystopian fears! https://t.co/uKwdBymhTf

WHAT. Ring made a drone.

FAA rules don't apply inside your house, so Amazon can fly an autonomous drone around to spy on you or whatever.

Who asked for this!? https://t.co/aWe33Gq07x

— Jason Rabinowitz (@AirlineFlyer) September 24, 2020

I've seen this home drone camera idea floating around for years, but @ring just up and did it.

Given people are staying home... this seems like a recipe for your kids who know how to program devices to drive you crazy, especially if they can order the drone around from those cute kiddie echo dots. https://t.co/5gMD0uikLv

New @washingtonpost:

Amazon appears undeterred by its emerging reputation in consumer tech: creep.

My 1st impressions of Amazon’s new security drone, car camera and swiveling speaker, which push the boundaries of surveillance — againhttps://t.co/S0lT3a5RSu pic.twitter.com/xfAMmssZU2

— Geoffrey A. Fowler (@geoffreyfowler) September 24, 2020

To decipher the significance of this drone, we need to look beyond its functionality. If lots of people buy it that risks further normalizing domestic drone surveillance. And if Ring can travel around the house today, future products might be designed to travel elsewhere.

I keep reading that Amazon has released an indoor home surveillance drone and it seems to be real and yet I absolutely refuse to believe it

Amazon was one of the first companies to understand the subscription to computer power on a mass scale.

What most of Silicon Valley missed while listening to the wrong folks is that the #VoiceFirst revolution is about the subscription of AI power and thus far Amazon owns it. https://t.co/NNzmjv7MST

Anybody else minding the Amazon devices event overwhelmed by the pace?
Look, a spherical Echo Dot.
Now some software.
Oh hey here's a home security tool.
And can I interest you in wifi?

Doing a pre-recorded event has unhinged Amazon from any physical constraints on pacing.

As we wait for todays’ Amazon product launch event to begin ...

Riddle me this: If Amazon has so much amazing data about what its customers want, why are some of its product launches consistently weird — or never really make it to market?

Consider 2 million Alexa customers have registered for Alexa Guard thus far.

Guard+ expands capabilities to a new level with a flying in-home Alexa security drone.

The subscription basis of Alexa is just starting.

You are subscribing to AI power.
