Lily, the company behind an autonomous camera drone that had amassed $34m (£27m) in pre-orders, has announced that it is shutting down.

In an email to customers the start-up said it had failed to raise additional funds to start production of the drone.

It promised to reimburse all pre-order customers within the next 60 days.

I was hounded by a company called nuheara about getting on board early at a special price with some new fangled hearing aids/earphones.  They seemed to keep deferring the release date so I avoided committing in case this happened. Must do a follow up to see if they ever went to production.
