It's too bad they couldn't update the firmware in time, but it sounds like they did the responsible thing and built their drones to be safe. Do we really need a drone with an easily flippable "Trust me, I know this is a no-fly zone but I have made precautions to be perfectly safe!" switch?
- vsl 9y agoIt prevented me from flying at lower-than-trees altitude in a public park a km or so away, perpendicularly to the approach axis, from rarely used sports airfield... Another frequent occurence is the app threatening to brick the drone if you don’t update the firmware by a given date. I get the intention, but the nanny in these expensive things is overly powerful and often wrong.
- dreamcompiler 9y agoYes. We absolutely do. I know the FAA regs for drones, and if I violate them I should expect to be arrested. I don't need some poorly-designed firmware that I cannot override pretending to be my mom.
