Do you know how much DJI would suffer commercially if the FAA ban drones within US airspace? You think about that... Technically, you abide by the rules, laws and regulations. Otherwise, are you saying that I have the right to fly my drone chasing a police helicopter? Hovering in front of your bedroom? flying around prisons? Landing on the roof of the White House? Do you believe DJI wish to have their products affiliated with such behaviour? It is about responsibility and ensuring the product is minimised to prevent the owner from breaking laws with the products they produce as that will cause massive detriment to their credibility and global reputation. To be seen to minimise these risks helps to support the developement of the drone industry and ultimately their business in the eyes of national aviation authorities - many of whom would like to ban drones if it were not so commerically advantageous to the countries economy. Its about keeping the use of the products as safe as possible to prevent morons from endangering others and the drone industry being wiped out. If you are not willing to embrace restrictions to uphold these laws and the tech DJI and others build into their products to endeavour to uphold and work with them then perhaps you need to change your hobby... It's quite a simple concept really. And no, I do not consider myself moronic (as you rudely put it) for adhering to the law in my country and I respect DJI (as the market leader with a 70% share in the industry) for working with the authorties to enhance the safety of the millions of products they produce - and there is nothing speculative about that - simply FACT!
You are missing the point, your view implies that drone owners lack capacity to take responsibility in flying their drone safely, what if the same view was taken by everyone, we don’t purchase a smith and Wesson firearm and then have the requirement of logging into a website for capabilities with shooting our gun or purchase a Honda automobile then have to log into their website to have the capability to drive our car to work, both of these products that we purchase and own have the potential to be much more dangerous than a small drone that we fly as a hobby or for business, these companies do not impose such requirements to use them such as Dji does, they take the logical approach of placing the responsibility into the hands of individuals, These requirements we accept infringe on our rights little by little and before you know it they will all be handed over not to metion, logically thinking, Dji is not being smart with taking ownership and responsibility to a degree in their action |
