Product Mach9 Took Its Drafting AI Into the Air — and Published a List of the Jobs It Will Not Do Announced 4 November, two weeks after a $34m Series A: Mach9's web CAD now ingests aerial and drone LiDAR, classifies the cloud on upload and drafts planimetrics and overhead wires. The product page also states, in plain terms, that it does not fly, plan flights, process trajectories or register data — which is a sharper statement of strategy than the feature list is.
