    But then who's to say where you can and cannot fly, there may be a park in a city.

    When you guys come up with ideas you need to think of the practicality, is it something that could be viably done with minimal knowledge eg warnings on a splash screen

    I hate how everything that is remote controlled and has a camera on it  is now called a drone. Regardless of whether it is autonomous or not.

    lool. now drones will be knocking to our windows and falling on our heads =)

    OMG! that's all I can say. Please never let this happen in 3D robotics, for god sake!

    I wouldn't exactly say taking a DJI and crashing it into multiple buildings and flying recklessly in New York City is "living life"!... Just my opinion though.

    WOW, who cares, he flew , he crashed and nobody was hurt. People do stupid stuff everyday and peolple are hurt, Sh*t Happens and life goes on.

    Looks like alot of members here spend way to much time worrying about how other pople conduct themselves. Based on the post in this thread and the trappy thread I get the feeling alot of folks here are afraid to live life.

    Looks like a "Copter" problem...Fixed wing would not typically have the same issues.

    This is a joke, right?

    Aside from the main thread.

    I am amazed how strong that Phantom is! The guy hits buildings a few times (hard to count as the footage is cut) and copter is still flying like nothing happened! huh

    I think Jared's idea is a good one.  It won't save the world but the subtle message might stop a few accidents.

    Oh here os a simple partial solution

    Can someone code missionplanner, arther code droid planner and the guy of andropilot so that it has a startup screen then shows a different simple message every time eg: rlt only works in strait lines so dont fly between things

    Or dont fly over crowds rc models are dangerous

    Or the difference between prision and freedom is one accident
    Dont fly near animals or people

    Life and death can be one crash away
    Dont risk others safety

    Etc
