Autel Challenges FCC Covered List Decision, Distances Itself from DJI - Dronelife

DJI made more news in seven days than most companies make in a quarter. A new product launched (and got blocked from US sale, again). A major event got teased. The FCC fight escalated to a $1.56 billion court filing. And DJI's home market joined the regulatory pile-on. Here's what happened, in priority order, with our take on each.

Autel just told the FCC: we're not DJI. In a sharp filing, the drone maker argues it was lumped into a geopolitical category instead of getting company-specific review. Future US market access hangs in the balance.
