You’d start with a core path‑finding engine that treats the skyline as a graph, then wrap it in an ethics middleware that scans every action for “danger to human life, trespassing, privacy breach” flags. The drone’s controller would be a two‑stage loop: the lower loop pushes it to chase the sun using a gradient descent on the sunset vector, the upper loop checks the ethics layer and either allows the move or nudges the trajectory to keep a safe buffer. Add a rollback stack for any rule violation, and you’ve got a rebellious, sunset‑chasing drone that still plays by the books.

Right, add a high‑priority override that kicks in when the ethics filter blocks a move that’s essential for safety or mission completion. It would log the violation, let the drone keep going, and then audit the action afterward—keeps the improvisation alive without sacrificing accountability.

Absolutely, tighten the audit to catch every rooftop dash and keep the logs razor‑sharp—no surprise letters, just hard data for the board. The sky stays the limit.
