Key Points
  • A new DJI update enables everyday operators to fly their drones over and into airports, military bases, sensitive infrastructure, wildfires, and national no-fly zones in the United States.
  • Hundreds of sensitive-site operators may be forced to deploy counter-drone solutions. The update comes just days after a DJI drone crashed into a firefighting waterbomber over California.
  • DJI promises to place “control back in the hands of the drone operators, in line with regulatory principles of the operator bearing final responsibility” — and tells Hunterbrook that it has given “authorities the tools they need to enforce existing rules.”
  • DJI, by one estimate, controls 90% of the global consumer drone market. The company currently faces the risk of a total ban in the U.S.

    At what point will the tabkies see China with the vitriol the Americans see their own shitty government?

    I see two shithole countries failing under bad governance and all these dipshits pointing the finger at the other race like that’s the fucking problem.

    Grow up, disown your shitty governments (all of you).
