Behold: the Renault KWID – an off-road concept vehicle with its own drone quadcopter – revealed this week at the Delhi AutoExpo.

The quadcopter, deployed from a motorised hood at the rear of the roof and controlled by a tablet inside the vehicle, is used for scouting traffic, taking aerial photographs and detecting obstacles ahead.
