Thought I’d have a go at creating a video to test out the active track and spotlight with a vehicle as the subject.
Disclaimer: Drone was not manually controlled whilst I was driving and I headed out into the wilderness up near Sedbergh Gun Club as it is very quiet around there.
the test went well
the test went well
Made me realise that spotlight doesn’t follow you, hence the video with the car disappearing into the distance. I had to park up at the end and get the drone to catch up with me 
It looks good though. 
It kept up the speed to around 27 mph which was pretty impressive, not sure how quickly I’d have lost it if I’d sped up, maybe that’s a test for another day.
@markas ….was that all active track ? How did it miss that tree at 7.20 ? …amazing that it maintained a steady height when the car was climbing/descending hills …all very interesting …Alan
There were a couple of occasions I pulled over and stopped, when the car disappeared off down the lane the drone was in spotlight mode so I had to catch up and change back to active track, there was, I believe another occasion where I stopped as the drone lost the subject. As for the tree, I think that was pure luck, I have it set to stop if the sensors pick up on object so I am pretty certain it would have just stopped in active track, it looked too close for comfort. 
My biggest fear would be that you pass by another grey car and it decides to follow them home. 
How many times did you look up to see if the drone was still there?
Does it recognise the colour ? 
there was one point I’m sure where the car went behind a tree and a van coming in the opposite direction emerged how did it cope with that ?
Shape and colour … after all, it doesn’t have ANPR. 
There is some “Artificial Intelligence” involved … we are lead to believe. What that is and how that works, DJI would have to be unusually revealing for us to be sure.
It’s not just following the controller …nah don’t be stupid Alan
Were that the case (as is the case with the Litchi Leash app in conjunction with the Litchi app), there would be no need to inform the app which object to follow.
The Litchi Leash app can be installed on someone else’s phone and the drone will follow whilst the user with the main app can watch on to check the drone’s safety.
Obviously, as I have done, both Litchi apps can be on the same phone/tablet.
A few, you can probably see some of them in the videos
