so it uses computer vision to recognize objects like mountain, sea, land, buildings and figure out its relative position?
this is a pretty robust approach except when visibility allows it. wonder if lidar + CV would work better here rather than a pure CV approach
nonetheless its an interesting approach as in some jurisdictions you need a permit to operate a drone, something autonomous like this could work without involving bureaucracy

lmfao permits are for law-abiding meat-bags; my swarm follows me autonomously, officer.
Lidar would reveal your drone existence and location to the, ummm, "park rangers" when you are “delivering supplies” to “lost hikers” in GPS-denied environment.
Interesting... star trackers have been around since the 50s and inertial navigation / SLAM is pretty plug and play these days. Looks like the unique thing they are going after is spoofing GPS so that a consumer drone can fly in a GPS denied environ. Neat, but a bit dubious as an investment.
It is open-source so it can be used by both sides to kill each other, or to assassinate a well-protected political figure, or to inflict damage on a crowd.

Not according to Tesla
I'm all for sending enough supplies to return them safely to where they belong.
