The more the Government attacks DJI with stories about the "autonomous A.I. Spy Robots" that they are selling U.S. Consumers, the MORE ridiculous they make even their own point sound.
My hope is sooner than later the people will come to their senses and realize that every time we fly our drones, we are not sending china some new miraculous information that will turn us all into Hard working, Xi Jinping worshiping, Factory workers. BUT we'll see.
I really don't see this DJI thing lasting all that much longer- After all if you look into the storage warehouse of most local governments you will find Thousands upon thousands of dollars in DJI drones that were purchased with State funds that were given for the specific purpose of obtaining DJI Drones.
Buy Your DJI-- OR You could build your own BUT With what you want your drone to do you would be saving LOTS of money Buying DJI. Compared to trying to get the parts needed delivered to your Builder.
