Comment on DJI No Longer Blocks Flights over Airports and Military Basesparent

Comments

DJI introduced multiple "safety" features then lobbied for regulation making those features mandatory. They were already compliant with the regulations but their competitors weren't. It's a standard regulatory capture play.

Its a common sense feature that most people appreciate. Often a consumer getting a drone for Christmas doesn't know they are near a reserved airspace for a hospital helipad.
