  1. Emergency lighting: The drone will be able to illuminate the vehicle from the air in case of an accident at night, providing visibility to alert emergency services.
  2. Guidance to the owner: In situations of poor visibility or in unfamiliar environments, the drone will be able to guide the owner to the vehicle.
  3. Parking search: The drone will be able to overtake the vehicle to identify and secure an available parking space.
  4. Alternative routes: On less traveled or difficult to access roads, the drone will be able to act as a flying support to the driver of the vehicle, advising him on which route would be the most optimal.
  5. Capturing unique moments: Thinking of the diversity of Bentley users, from footballers and celebrities to influencers and YouTubers, the “Flying B” drone allows aerial shots that capture the essence of luxury and exclusivity. Owners can use the drone to take selfies or record videos from spectacular angles creating unique and sophisticated content for their followers.
This technology will initially be available on Bentley's most exclusive models. It will undoubtedly mark a before and after for collectors and luxury motoring enthusiasts. In addition to its aesthetic value, the flying “Flying B” redefines what it means to drive a Bentley, offering an interactive and personalized experience that seamlessly blends luxury with innovation.

The launch of this technology coincides with Bentley's centennial, underscoring its position not only as a symbol of luxury and elegance, but also as a leader in the integration of new technologies in the global automotive industry.
