Amazon’s New Ring Security Cameras Can Fly Around Your House or Roam Around Your Business (gizmodo.com)

Amazon’s Ring is best known for its doorbell and home security cameras, but now the company is rolling out cameras that can move around on their own.

Ring announced Tuesday a new product category called Ring Robotics, starting with two devices, the Ring Drone Cam and Ring Rover Cam.

“For years, customers told us they wanted eyes in the places a fixed camera couldn’t reach, and peace of mind in the spots they’d never want one,” said Ring Founder Jamie Siminoff in a press release. “The honest answer wasn’t more cameras; it meant reimagining what a security device could be.”

Both devices are powered by Ring’s custom-built AI Pilot system, which allows them to map indoor spaces, suggest patrol points, and navigate around obstacles on their own.

This is giving me Cyberpunk 2077 vibes

Yes! My first thought was of someone hacking these and making them crash into shit. In a game it would be to cause a distraction, but in the real world people would just do it to cause chaos for anyone dumb enough to buy one.
