No one needs a drone to go for a run. Running for me, back when I could run, was not only about exercise but getting away from it all, technology included.

All you need to run is a good pair of running shoes (and hopefully a pair of shorts and a T shirt).

This is just desensitizing people to drone surveillance. Making drones your friendly little jogging buddy. Just what we need. This sounds like something straight out of Brave New World.
