I owned an Autel X Star premium from the beginning. The whole thing about them putting the owners in charge of being responsible was what sold me. I've since sold it because they discontinued the batteries for it. I love my new
MA2 but probably because I'm in an area where there is basically no restrictions.
I doubt that all companies will make you jump through hoops unless it becomes a requirement by FAA to have the software do it for you. Kind of like having a car that does 140 MPH. Laws indicate speed limits but car manufacturers don't limit their cars to the speed limits on the road. It's up to the owner to be responsible enough to abide by the laws and that's why I don't think it will ever be that way. DJI aren't forced to do what they do. Maybe in the future DJI will do exactly the opposite like Autel and chill out and let us be responsible for our own property.
