Santa Ana Mayor Valerie Amezcua and council members Thai Viet Phan, <br /> Phil Bacerra, David Penaloza, Ben Vazquez and Jessie Lopez did not <br /> respond to repeated requests for comment. <br /> Council member Johnathan Hernandez stated that he is concerned about the <br /> technology used in a genocide coming to Santa Ana. <br /> Bry, Skydio's CEO and co-founder, said in the podcast interview that he <br /> began his journey wanting to be the best remote-controlled plane pilot when <br /> he was a child. This evolved as technology progressed. He is now one of the <br /> faces of a rapidly expanding company that has been backed by Israeli-tied <br /> private equity and Axon itself. One of its top clients is the US Department of <br /> Defense. <br /> "I've been working on this stuff since I was a little kid and I want to be working <br /> on it for the rest of my life," said Bry, "I don't be a part of building this kind of <br /> dystopian future where we've got drones following us around all the time." <br /> The podcast host responded, "I get the privacy concern, I don't want to <br /> pretend like it's not there. I mean look, if there was a drone flying around my <br /> house every day, I'd be like `what the f—', I would shoot it down." <br /> Thank you for supporting this reporting.
