I once backed a kickstarter for a US company called Vantage Robotics. They were building a cool drone and it looked like it would be fun to have. It took them about 2 years to get it delivered and by then, drone technology had advanced far past what they were offering. The thing crashed on its first flight, destroying it.

Instead of just shutting down, they dropped all their early supporters and pivoted to US military contracts. Their website is still full of out dated technology. Reading this headline is no surprise to me.
