Mavic 3 drifted by itself for 60 meters

angle of the sun can cause sensors to do strange things. A bead of water and the sun in a low position is a possible cause of an engine fire warning in some aircraft that I have flown. It's just something mentioned in the factory ground schools..they don't offer a suggestion what to do with your drawers. :oops:
There was no sun, it was completely cloudy. Every single explanation to this just scares me out that the drone can do weird stuff and crash into things and it is uncontrollable :/

Any chance it temporarily entered ATTI mode?
The data shows that the drone was never in Atti Mode.
It had full GPS the whole time, but was in detour mode for all except half a second after the automated takeoff.

Seems to me with the current new model & "early" firmware, it seems that switching off OA completely while it is up high enough & in VLOS, just re-enable it while close by & flying within crashing distance of ground/trees etc etc would make the drone more reliable, wonder if it needs a re-calibrate of sensors via DJI Assistant ?
