An ex-Googler who's now an exec at drone-maker Skydio said he went from the phone to the drone industry because 'phones have gotten kind of boring'

"The reality is that phones have gotten kind of boring," Moss told Business Insider.

Moss had been involved with Skydio since the company's founding five years ago. He was even Skydio's first investor. And one of the biggest draws that pulled him into the drone market was the hands-off capability that drones offer users while still allowing them to document themselves in the midst of an experience.

Moss may have made the industry crossover, but he said drones largely wouldn't be what they are today without the smartphone. The navigation cameras used in the Skydio drones are essentially developed for smartphones, among other devices. And the smartphone industry overall has focused on bringing down component costs and pushing the performance of smaller, lighter, cheaper cameras, Moss said.
