“I am interested in using the drone from the vehicle. I’ve seen this technology before, but not yet had the opportunity to try it for myself. As someone who enjoys flying drones, this will be a great opportunity to test it for myself,” said British vlogger Lee Barrett.
“The drone system sounds like a fun and futuristic bonus in this trip,” said Shenzhen Global Communication Ambassador Mahmoud Hamdy Mahmoud Ahmed from Egypt.
“Imagine filming scenic or environmental landmarks from the air while driving! I absolutely can’t wait!” said Gloria D’Andrea, an Italian student at Shenzhen Polytechnic University.
