If there's one sure sign we're living in some sort of cyberpunk future, it's the number of drone stories in our newsfeeds these days. From shady conspiracy theories to their involvement in ongoing conflicts, drones are now a hot topic of discussion—and consumer models flying over areas where they shouldn't is an ongoing theme.
Now DJI, the Chinese manufacturer of an estimated 90% of the world's consumer drones, has announced that it's updating its geofencing system to no longer automatically enforce US no-fly zones (via The Verge). Instead of directly preventing drones from flying over restricted areas like airports, power plants and areas of national security, operators of DJI drones will instead receive a dismissible warning that the area they're flying into is an "Enhanced Warning Zone."
