And why would anybody who is not owning a drone know, what that beeping means?
And btw, why would they care even if they knew? They cant control where the drone flies anyway, since I am controlling it either way (being able to cancel rth anytime, if I see any danger). The drone owner is responsible - beep or no beep!
I see more people being upset by that sound than beeing kept from harm by it!

In America people know what a beeping noise means. It's attached on our large trucks. When people hear that noise they know to be cognizant of their surroundings.

Because it's being flown autonomously, not by a human. You should take precautions around autonomous machines, just like you would in a factory or on the street. Trucks are being driven by people and they still beep. No reason not be safe around dangerous machines.

You are right about the responsibility, although that doesn't impact the need for the beep. The anecdotal evidence of a few people saying they don't like the safety beep does not amount to much in my opinion. Hundreds of thousands of drones sold and just a few posts on the subject - I would say few people care enough to have it removed. Also, in most professional situations, these sort of audible warnings are general required on machinery. DJI getting ahead of the curve is a great way of avoiding additional regulation. |
