We have all heard of the magical self-drive and self-park cars, not only do they make travelling easier but also a lot safer. But is it what India really wants today? At least Anand Mahindra doesn't think so! What we really want, especially in Mumbai right before the monsoon is autonomous umbrellas. Yes! The umbrellas that detect your presence and move with along with you. Anand Mahindra shared an amazing video of a "DroneBrella, the self-flying umbrella" and it has grabbed quite a few eyeballs on his Twitter handle. This umbrella doesn't need to be held but, in fact, moves with you to protect you from rains. Anand Mahindra shared the videos of "DroneBrella" with the caption: "We focus our attention on cutting edge autonomous cars & vehicles but as the monsoon approaches, I’m more excited by the prospect of autonomous umbrellas!" Tech Mahindra Sets Example! Sacks Diversity Officer For Homophobic Comments.
Take a look at the video:

Worth a thought?
Mumbai Monsoons will tear this cute little invention apart

How lovely!
But the question is how successful will they be in India, when there are crowds walking together..and they might clash :)

While the innovation is brilliant and also intends to save us from a lot of hassle, is Mumbai's crowd ready for the "Dronebrella"? What say?
