DJI, the world’s best-selling drone manufacturer has unveiled new models with plane avoidance technology which warns operators of risks posed by nearby planes and helicopters.
Colin Bull, Principal Consultant Manufacturing and Product Development at SQS, believes that while this is an important step, more must be done to stop drones becoming flying payload systems.
Bull offered the following expert comment:
“DJI’s announcement at Mobile World Congress that they will be equipping their drones with plane avoidance technology is a step in the right direction to restrict the use of drones in uncontrolled air space.
