My car doesn't care about no-go zones or speed limits. When you drive a vehicle, you are supposed to know and respect the law. In the EU, to fly that drone you need a license, everyone who passes the mandatory exams knows the altitude limits and flight zones, why is DJI, a Chinese company, putting all sorts of restrictions on their drones? No sense! Meanwhile, Mavic 2/3 and Agra are widely used for war on both sides, it doesn't seem to be a problem, but we recreational pilots are restricted and forced to crack the drone to have a device that can fly freely.
While I am sure you and many others are very responsible pilots, unfortunately, there are many idiots out there who don't respect regulations and restrictions.
It took just one idiot (who crashed a drone next to a ship in the port) to cause Carnival Cruise line (one of the two remaining which allowed drones) to permanently ban all drones to be brought on board a few months ago.
Even for cars, there are talks about drunk driving prevention technology being made mandatory in the future.
This is the necessary evil for the Chinese company to continue to sell recreational drones in many markets. And they can also avoid many liabilities caused by hacked drones in restricted zones. |
