Skydio is done making drones for consumers. Though the self-flying drone startup has been denying for years<\/a> it would pivot to enterprise, it confirmed on Thursday<\/a> that it\u2019s sunsetting its consumer business in favor of creating drones for use by commercial businesses and the public sector. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n \u201cOur drones are making the core industries that our civilization runs on \u2014 public safety, transportation, energy, construction, and defense \u2014 safer and more efficient,\u201d Skydio CEO Adam Bry writes. \u201cThe impact we\u2019re having with our enterprise and public sector customers has become so compelling that it demands nothing less than our full focus and attention.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n As part of the shutdown, Skydio will no longer sell its Skydio 2+ Starter, Sports, Cinema, or Pro kids. It says it will still provide customer support for people who currently own Skydio drones, while also honoring any warranties. The company says it will also maintain an inventory of accessories, such as replacement batteries, propellers, and charging cables \u201cfor as long as we can.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
