The Paris-based company&#8217;s hovering drone has spawned meetup groups dedicated to hacking the device, resulting in such hacks as adding a video to the device to follow one&#8217;s son to the bus stop. Today at CES, however, Parrot is taking it one further, and has added Flight Recorder to the flying hardware.<\/p>\n<p>With 4Gbs or local storage, users can record video of their AR Drone&#8217;s flight path, as well as using a built in GPS to track it&#8217;s trajectory. The startup says that the new capabilities will open up a variety of new use cases for the AR Drone, such as a Follow The Leader style course-imitation game.<\/p>\n<p>As has been the case up until now, I suspect it will be the AR Drone that ultimately determines the utility and optimal use-cases for the new technology, strapped to the startup ecosystem&#8217;s favorite quad-copter.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Out at CES this week, plenty of French startups are showing off their latest and greatest hardware, and few are more well known than Parrot AR Drone.
