DJI, the largest drone manufacturer globally, is under pressure from the US government as it faces potential bans on its products within a year. The situation is complicated by recent events, including a DJI drone's involvement in a plane incident during the LA wildfires. The company has decided to eliminate its no-fly zones, which they argue may help facilitate lifesaving flights. However, they are aware that this decision raises safety concerns and they will need to work quickly to assuage fears while addressing the potential impacts of a ban.
Adam Welsh: First off, geofencing has been in place for more than 10 years, and we recognize any change to something that's been in place for 10 years can come as a bit of a shock to people. But let's talk a little bit about why geofencing was first put in place and the limitations of that geofencing system.
DJI stands to save some money in staffing costs by eliminating no-fly zones, but it has an awful lot of convincing to do in a short amount of time.
