Google may develop a drone small yet strong enough to offer videoconferencing services to businesses, according to a patent application filed by the company. The papers describe an agile, H-shaped quadcopter drone that is equipped with an audio communications system, is able to carry a rotating screen and possibly a projection system. There would also be a smartphone dock for processing and controlling the device. In addition to its drones, Google has been working on self-driving cars since 2009, when it acquired Otto, which was founded in 2009.
