As far as I know, there is an "airspace regulation database" in the firmware, but it will not prevent you from taking off and flying.
That makes me know that the restrictions will come next, it makes me sad. I am a responsible part 107 licensed pilot. I do not need a drone company restricting me in front of my clients after I gave it my all and fulfilled FAA permissions for said project and not being able to lift off. For that reason I will not update my Autel Evo 2 pro drone again or connecting software. Same as my DJI Inspire 1, it still works perfectly within controlled airspace after I am legally cleared. This is a solid bird. I know you have many more improvements planned for this quad, just a good thing you have 90% of them down already, cause that's all I'm gonna get so far.
I can see that day, also see why. Just looking out for us and Autel. Great quad btw.
I disagree. I don't see that day coming anytime soon. not because the government doesn't want it but because there's no way to implement it. we already know the dji method is a nightmare. how exactly will the government require all drones to implement restrictions? that's impossible. and where will they get this authority from? congress? put me on the record, not going to have ever....meaning in the next 5 to 10 years. will the manufacturers implement it? maybe, maybe not. but the faa is never going to absolutely require all uavs to flying under full software restrictions else you are unauthorized to fly. that's a killer decision, for sure.
Unfortunately won’t be the first time the FAA pulled the cart before the horse.

I only have that issue if I leave my wifi on in my phone or tablet. Just leave the wifi off and it shouldn't ask you to upgrade. Well, it works for me anyway. I've actually had autel tell me to keep upgrading the same exact firmware version for a month. That was weird. I jut ignored it. Then I started keeping my wifi off when flying dji or autel drones. It helps prevent notifications. I also used a Drone Hack mod on my Air2s. I keep my Wifi off so i don't accidently upgrade. The Air2S w the DH mod gives me unlimited altitude and absolutely no geofencing restrictions, except a little warning, "you are in a restricted zone, leave ASAP", which I ignore. The DH mod lets me just keep flying like their was no geofence there at all. If Autel ever created a GeoFence Lock, it would be hacked pretty quickly, I'm sure. I was using an Autel altitude hack, but quit. I felt that 2600 ft was high enough compared to 6000ft.
