Kwid is an SUV concept unveiled at the Delhi Motor Show. Renault says the ‘Flying Companion’, which takes off on its missions from the rotating rear portion of the Kwid’s roof, can be flown manually from a tablet inside the car, or will operate its own pre-programmed flight sequence. Renault suggests the Flying Companion could be used for “scouting traffic, taking landscape pictures and detecting obstacles on the road ahead”.
It’s not explained what sort of super-human you’d have to be to simultaneously operate a moving motor vehicle and flying UAS, but Renault has thoughtfully fitted the Kwid with a double-clutch transmission to at least leave you with a left leg free for UAS-operation duties.

Would this be considered a toy or a safety feature in the event of bad roads ahead.
