There are a lot of drones that can do pretty much all of these things already, or you can build your own using an open source flight controller like ardupilot.

The main job here (which they have done well) is turning it into a mass consumer product, easy to use package. DJI has done a pretty good job for prosumers on it but this is another notch up.

Like the waterproofing!

Video suggests a higher level of autonomy than I think they have right now (obstacle avoidance, automatic landing on your hand) but a year might be enough to cram it in there.

I think we will see many more consumer drones like this.
