Go/No-Go by Lumafield

Episode notes

Skydio CEO Adam Bry joins Go/No-Go to talk about how drones have evolved from toys to tools to infrastructure, and how autonomy and AI could help American manufacturers regain ground in an industry long dominated by China.

Jon and Alex also cover this week’s headlines: the FCC’s new authority to ban DJI drones, private jet owners renting engines during supply shortages, the death of San Francisco’s bodega cat KitKat by a Waymo car, Coca-Cola’s recall over possible metal contamination, a chip startup challenging ASML, and the rise of luxury “superfakes.”

The episode closes with a Reconstruction segment on the modern history of civilian drones, from the early hobbyist days and GoPro’s Karma to DJI’s global dominance and the ongoing effort to rebuild a secure supply chain.
