Yeah, I was being totally facetious, obviously
It would be helpful if the flash could link:
1. Angle of camera and distance to subject
2. Angle of flash and distance to bounce surface
To calculate, based on some assumptions, like a ceiling parallel to the floor:
3. If the flash is not at the right angle for good coverage
4. Power level of the flash based on exposure settings
That would be pretty cool.

The antimatter power cell also powers the interal antigrav unit, linked to the gyroscopic compensators in order give you a gimbal-without-a-gimbal. It also doubles as a personal floatation device when your airplane falls out of the sky. Innovation!

After all an AI flash deserves an AI entity behind it ;D
My wife is a blond that dyes her hair nearly black. I've got AI covered.

Hair is no different than cameras. The grass is always greener on the other side!
I find it funny how women with curly hair work to straighten it, while women with straight hair work to give themselves curls.

I recently saw it demonstrated.
there is NO radio function. This is not a pro-level flash. It's designed for advanced amateurs who are learning to use bounce flash.
Motorized tilt and swivel
Point at subject and activate function. Shoots direct, tilts up and shoots, tilts backwards and shoots. Calculates best bounce angle option.
if you switch from landscape to portrait it can reposition automatically to use same flash angle.
it's a pretty cool gimmick and will likely enthuse many budding Canon users and could even satisfy some pro types looking for an easy solution at times.
You can also select a manual bounce position and it will auto rotate to re-aim the head if you change camera orientation.
Canon innovation.
Do we really need it?
(no)
Will people buy it?
(hell ya)

Yeah. Or get rid of the curlies altogether.
Sold all my Canon flash on the bay. Switched over to all Flashpoint now and have just about enough left over for the new EF 85mm... mirror box clipping or not. Yup, the grass is always greener. I'll keep my sweet wife. The grass will never be greener anywhere else. I got very lucky.
