Interesting! Surprised they're doing this. I thought the FAA was forcing it.

DJI said the update would “place control back in the hands of the drone operators,” claiming it is “in line with regulatory principles of the operator bearing final responsibility.” DJI added that the new system has been active in the U.K. and several EU countries since January 2024.

For sure. Likely a legal decision. Put the responsibility on the pilot. I just assumed the FAA was requiring them to do that. I didn't realize it was optional.
