And lifechanging innovation, whether its in health care, car navigation, health and safety, so many other things, so they understand the decisions they mae make have real life consequences. What is your early impression of the Trump Administration and the Tech Community . I think the Trump Administration wants the Tech Community to citied and help drive the stock market. Were seeing positive action on nafta, rewriting it in a way which will not be harmful to american industry. Also movement on overregulation and. What be the fcc, early signs from the fcc and. The fcc chairman has redefined what the commission is doing in a very positive probusiness way. Focus on regulation and privacy. Its not the big power grab we had under the fcc chairmanship of tom wheeler, which went absolutely wild in trying to regulate everything that touched the internet, and we are more comfortable with the federal trade commission focusing on privacy. They gave it the do not call and all these other things and thats a regime that everyone in washington is comfortable with. At the front hover this exit is a big map of the u. S. Listing all the job each state that has supported or directly related to the tech comment. What the aggregate number . I believe over 12 million jobs directly and inredirect, everything from the retailers and best buy who celtic nothing to workers at apple and sony and intel and squall. Donald trump wants to bring jobs to the u. S. Is that something the Tech Community can feasibly do . Absolutely. We have jobs that are unfilled today because we are not training our kids in Software Development and stem. We have great universities. Were getting kids from around the world. The smartest people come here and were kicking them out. We have literally millions of jobs open today and we have to good overseas if we cant are focusing on that and our may 3rd conference in washington, dc called the new american job summit, its focused on the fact that tech is disruptive and tech costs jobs, certainly taxi drivers and Hotel Workers are being affected by airbnb and uber and lyft and selfdriving cars and created huge jobs in robot yanking and Data Analysis and Software Development and new businesses are being created and it is fueling different types of jobs.

Majority whip steve scalise, what are you doing here . My background is in computer science, actually used to write software for a living before i came up to congress. So always great to see what electronics and technology. A big fan of technology 0 to great so see these new gadgets. Whats the importance of bringing these companies to capitol hill . I think number one it shows just what kind of Great Innovation we have in america and products used all around the world. One thing america has done well is lead the world in Technology Innovation so you get the see the front end of things that will make peoples lives better and its important to were making policy. We need to make sure youre doing anything to impede the technology. One of the bright spots of our economy year. There is bipartisan agreement on these issues that affect the Tech Community . There really is. Have actually got ton be really good friends with a representative of Silicon Valley. We Work Together on issues and in general you see such a growing in history, the fact we are undisputed the world leader in innovation, and a lot of the products that people use all around the world are ideas that came out of people here, maybe a College Dropout in america that is going to be in the next tech billionaire, thats something that america has let in and needs to continue to be the global leader. According to the cta chart in the front of this exhibit, 150,000 jobs in louisiana are supported, are tech related jobs. What kind of jobs. We have a growing Technology Field in louisiana. The city of new orleans has become a hub for young people that come in and start up businesses, come up with innovative ideas. You see it all around the country but its a greg field growing field, younger kidded with virtual reality, ease of use that kid have of pick us gadgets and learning to use technology. Going to provide a lot of great opportunities opportunities and Startup Companies and were glad that louisiana are is part of that. When it comes from technology what hearing. The biggest thing is to make sure the government doesnt impede their ability to grow and create innovative products. When you look at the regulatoriy agencies leak the federal communications commission, the fcc has a lot of involvement in how technology is governed. Ive one reason the Technology Industry has done well is they innovate faster than government can regulate and slow it down. You want to make sure that regulations are fair and even handed but you also want regulations that dont impede innovation. Too often washington gets in the way and we fight legislators to get washington out of the way so these great World Leaders in technology can innovate. Steve scalise, the majority whip in the house of representatives. Now on your screen is Brandon Schulman of a company call dji. Its the largest mr. Er of approximater special professional drones which some people estimate to be a 70 market share. How big is the mark. Its growing a lot. We have seen tremendous interest, specially since the faa finalized rules for commercial operation in august, and they said there are 35,000 pilots who have taken the test, passed it. They flyer in alcohol for what fly commercial for what companies. Search and rescue to firefighting, infrastructure inspection,ing a can you go tour. One of agriculturement one of the best pieces of news is we dade study that found also at least 59 lives have been saved using drones like these. What kind of regulations there are to fly a drone either commercially or privately . The rules for flying recreationally are actually Pretty Simple and theyre all available either on the faa web site or the know before you fly come campaign. Those include nowing the airport if youre within five miles of the airport, keepunderror drone in visual line of sight. If youre want to fly for commercial purposes its not that hard to get the license. 91 of people who take a test, a multiple choice test, 91 of the people pass. They ask you things like air space, things you,lash about in a day or two taking a an online course. Washington, dc, the nofly zone for drones. Right. Host extends pretty far out. Right. One thing we have done with our technology we have been around ten years and want to push the envelope in terms of what you can do with the system and also the safety feature us. We head had for four years gps you take our drone to the mall it wont take if. Could if youre near an airport it went let you be in that place weapon add Nuclear Power plans and prisons. Were concerned that people not fly drones inned a vert at any timefully places that are dangerous women have an altitude limitation feature, automatic return to home, and the latest drone, we have the two extra cameras on the front that sense the environment, they build a 3d computer map of obstacles and avoid. So it sees a building orr person, its going and and hover. So this is the way were contributing to safe operating environment. What casino of questions have members of Congress Asked you about this and maybe about policy . I think theyve been very interested in what they can do to help support the industry. I think everyone recognizes theres tremendous benefit from, like i said, 59 lives saved already, not to mention all the money and expense of trying to do things a different way. We have researchers helping to save the whales. As members of congress we want to know what we to help support the great industry and its already happening. Were working very closely with a the faa on the reasonable rules we need going forward, like night operation, flight beyond the line of sight, control of air space so the Drone Advisory Committee with the ffaa, im on that and trying to create the reasonable rules so we can continue to innovate. You have two other model here. What is the difference . Sure. This one is fire one, more of a commercial or hollywood platform. It can fly faster. Two camera operations, one person can fly and the other has a camera. You can keep a car in a frame. That will good 40milesanhour. Then over on this end is really the this is more of a prosumer inthrow duck trimodle. The difference this camera. This is popular among Real Estate Agents and just families that want to capture a Family Reunion or on vacation and want to do Something Like catch a mountainside and do what we call droning. People in washington or new york city, whether theres a real lockdown on these things, who are complaining they cant on allowed to fly them commercially . I think there are people who are so afraid about the technology they dont want to be limited in where they can fly but we understand that there are places that are appropriate to fly a drone and places there arent, and we try to work on the local government, State Government to figure that out. There i places you can identify in new york city. We had demonstrations of the media there its a great place to fly but you know where the stay safe and we support that. Washington, dc is very sensitive location. The gps, geofencing, will stop you from flying here. We have hard new share operators using our drones to help veiling accidents in the Washington Area so for those customers there has to be a balance between figuring out whether its safe to fly and prevent people from doing thing that may be oxable. Where are you headquartered. We have six offices in the United States and several others around the world.
