Reading through that sales brochure there is nothing telling how it's actually controlled .

Here is the best part hidden in the faq:

How does Hexo+ handle obstacle avoidance? Using our system you will have to choose paths that are in open areas. Picture yourself driving a car with a trailer - you have to anticipate the trajectory of the drone following you. The reason for this is that there is no avoidance system included in the first version. That's something we are working on right now and there will be a system update once fully developed. So far it looks promising but we can't yet commit to a release date.
