They always feature DJI phantoms as the "example drone" on the beeb - and given that they can fly autonomously, follow waypoints, etc. "drone" is a fair moniker

Agreed however that not all quadcopters are drones, just as not all drones are quadcopters.
- Derpdiherp 11y agoYes - this is what I'd refer to as a drone, something that can autonomously fly. It just seems to be being used as a catch all scare mongering term for all RC aircraft though - and given how long they've been around with a perfectly fine track record, it's becoming a bugbear.
