Hyundai sets record by simultaneously launching 3,281 drones at its recent nightly show
Hyundai‘s high-end car brand Genesis used 3,281 drones to create its logo in Shanghai’s night sky, marking the brand’s launch in China on March 29. This number of UAVs, according to Genesis, has made it possible to set a new Guinness World Record in terms of simultaneously raised and controlled drones.
