DJI Says Mass Adoption of Delivery Drones, Flying Vehicles Still on the Distant Horizon

SZ DJI Technology Co. Ltd. said it is unlikely that urban logistics drones and flying passenger vehicles will achieve large-scale commercial operation soon, as the company strikes a cautious note on the application of two of the most hyped segments in China’s low-altitude economy.

The judgement matters because the Chinese government has made the low-altitude economy, a term covering commercial activity in airspace close to the ground, a focus of its industrial policy and investment, while flying car companies are still trying to prove viable business models.
