Amazon's Ring launched two autonomous security products: the Ring Drone and Ring Rover. Both use AI Pilot for navigation and will integrate with existing Ring devices. Priced at $249.99 and $999.99, they will ship in December and January, respectively. This expands Ring's security business beyond video doorbells.
