Ask yourself if any of these statements ring true? People have been caught using a drone to spy on there neighbors sunbathing or swimming nude in their backyard, or peering through bedroom windows? Drones have been seen in restricted airspace and in very close proximity to commercial air traffic? Drones have crashed and injured innocent bystanders that weren't even aware of the drones activity? In certain parts of the world drones have been used to deploy IEDs? I'm referring to commercial grade drones like the DJI products and I can confirm all the above statements are events that have occurred recently. And you're wondering why manufacturers are a bit concerned for their liability. I hate Big Brother keeping an eye on me just like yourself, but I can also understand their side for the concern.
That doesn't make everyone a criminal though does it?
Cars, trucks, planes, and trains have been used for way more chaos and mayhem. Maybe we should restrict them to only go 5mph and you can't leave your little town with them.
Lol... Wondering if mine too is a guinea pig... 70 meters away and already losing connectivity.
No it doesn't, just think their trying to force us DJI drone owners to follow the law of the land based on our location. Don't agree with it myself, but all I'm saying is I can understand where their coming from.
Think your missing the main point, it's all about $$$ and liability. Look here the lawyers are already lining up to sue you, me and the manufacturers.
You're missing the point. It's up to the individual to obey speed limits and you know, not load up your truck with c4 and slam it into a building, not the manufacturer.
Forget it, you just want to disagree and troll I guess. What are you not understanding about potential liability when people don't do the right thing. That's the point, their liability when their product hurts someone or causes property damage. It's makes no sense to compare a terrorist attack, to let's say a P4 flying into a jetliner's intake. Tell me they wouldn't be sued if a Phantom takes down a fully loaded jetliner at the airport. Do you think the families of the crew and passages are going to sue some teenager or blue collar worker who flew the thing? They would sue DJI for millions, and would have a very good case. I'm done.
Bar owners and bartenders can and are held responsible when a drunk driver causes a fatality if it can be proved they got served at a particular establishment. Not saying it's right or wrong, just stating the truth. And DJI just recently had a class action lawsuit for just that, a bad FW release.
