Intel Drones Germany lay off more than 50 staff

Word is reaching us of large numbers of folks being let go at
If true that’s very sad as Asctec really have been pioneers in the drone space.
Intel has form in this regard, they hired and fired at Yuneec USA back in 2017.
Not only did they bring their Falcon 8 industrial inspection platform to the party but the shooting stars light show Asctec was unique in having a camera on a multirotor that could point up. Very handy for inspection the underside of things like bridges and bits of oil rigs.
Is this the end of product development from the Intel nee Asctec team?
Ascending Technologies GmbH was founded in 2007 by
Daniel Gurdan, Jan Stumpf, Klaus-Michael Doth, Michael Achtelik
