Get a Parrot That Flies Back to You When You Buy a Nissan SUV

If you’re looking to buy a Nissan SUV, look out for an extra parrot to add to your list of equipment.

Nissan is adding a Parrot Bebop 2 drone as optional equipment on its X-Trail SUV, allowing for the drone to help you keep a lookout for the route ahead, or just to make deliveries.

There isn’t a new landing pad on the SUV for the drone. So the X Trail is as you see it. However, instead of developing drones in house – they chose to partner with French startup Parrot, opting for Bebop 2 as standard unit.

It has a flight time of up to 25 minutes between charges and features an integrated 14-megapixel camera that can shoot and stream live video to a smartphone screen or to a dedicated headset. It can also autonomously follow the user via GPS – so your Parrot will fly back to you.

The drone, along with its remote controller and headset, can be stored in a specially designed padded backpack when not in use and, because the whole set tips the scales at a little over 500g, the bag will be light enough to carry with you once the car has stopped.

Although Nissan will only be offering the drone as standard equipment on the X-Trail X-Scape for a limited period it is now also officially on the X-Trail’s list of cost options.
