What if your bank servers went down and you weren't able have access to your money.
The agreement with my bank is not based on internet access. If it was, and their servers left me unable to access my money they would have to compensate me for any losses. As it stands, I am not forced to rely on an internet connection to access my money. I have credit cards and cash - all which allow me to make purchases with the same vehicle (my money) when I want/need to. I have been at vendors whose credit card systems weren't working... they simply ran the transaction manually.
It should also be noted that personal information on bank servers are located in the U.S. (for U.S customers) and subject to strict privacy laws. DJI is a private, non-US company, Information is not subject to the same laws. The privacy policy currently shows a very low threshold for release of private information to a wide range of individuals.
What if the software in your car's GPS had a glitch and it took you on a different route as planned.
If the vehicle's GPS broke and gave the wrong route, I would still have the option of driving wherever and however I want.
If the system required me to ask the manufacturer permission to drive a certain road or prevented the car from certain roads where I had legal access or prevented the car from driving when I did not have an internet connection, one of two things would apply. If this happened after the sale, the manufacturer would have to repair my system or replace it with one that worked the way it was supposed to when I purchased the car. If the system was designed like that prior to my purchase, I would have the option to buy from a different company. Problem solved.
What if your cable service had a issue during Super Bowl and you were unable to see the game.
I would miss the game or see it somewhere else. I could walk next door and not have to spend over one thousand dollars to buy a TV that worked as it was supposed to. Also, the cable company would eventually fix the service. They would also compensate me for the time I was without service (as they always have). Where the analogy fails is that the cable company did NOT design their service with knowledge that certain areas would always go black during a big game and that users would have to pre-authorize their viewing from a connected location less than 24 hours in advance.
All of these examples have fairly easy workarounds that allow the user to make their purchase, drive their car or see their game when they want/need to. They also involve compensation from the party with the broken service. I don't see DJI providing any way to easily circumvent geofence or compensating users for lost time.
DJI should simply offer geofence as an optional opt-in system. Alternately, they could clearly inform current/future purchasers and offer refunds to those who purchased prior to geofence. Mine is in a case right now ready to be shipped. |
