Yacine (well-known ex-xAI/Tesla engineer) shared in a reply that he has contacts in Ottawa working on an autonomous flying prototype. Current flight time is only 3 minutes, but the core product he's shipping is the autonomy module itself — a package that can be mounted on any drone, rather than building a full aircraft.
