The use of drones continues to increase and their use continues to become widespread. This technology, which once stayed in the air for only a few minutes and was no different from a simple remote-controlled helicopter, is used for many different purposes today. This includes professional shots. Lastly, Chinese auto company Geely has filed a new patent application that combines the use of drones with cars.
You will take unique shots with the Geely car drone
The Geely car drone patent, which was registered to the Chinese State Intellectual Property Office, is quite interesting. First of all, let’s say that this is not an attachment that can be placed on the car, a direct feature of the vehicle. According to the patent, the drone is located in a special compartment in the engine cover. The compartment, which has a second door that can be opened and closed, can be used for the drone to land or take off.
The opening and closing mechanism of the cover plate is translational, and the opening direction of the cover plate is parallel to the extension plane of the motor case. Thanks to this mechanism, the driver’s view is not blocked, so that even when the vehicle is in motion, it can take off or land.
The automatic drone can offer unique shots with features such as follow mode. In addition, there are many different uses, such as a second additional camera in traffic accidents, and a pair of eyes in the air that will allow you to see the road ahead. Actually, this isn’t Geely’s first similar work.
Earlier this year, the company launched a concept car called the Polestar O2, equipped with an automatic drone behind the vehicle’s rear seats. Developed in partnership with Aerofugia’s consumer electronics brand, Hoco Flow, the concept drone can take off while a car is in motion, capturing excellent images.
The drone operates fully autonomously and automatically tracks vehicles up to 90 km/h. Drivers can choose “High Altitude Environment Mode” (well suited for coastline cruise shooting) or “Sports Tracking” mode to record more dynamic driving footage. After the shooting is completed, the drone can automatically return to the vehicle. While the vehicle is stationary, the driver can edit and share video clips directly from the 15-inch center display.
