Right after one of its drones crashed into an aircraft fighting California wildfires? Great timing Drone maker DJI has decided to scale back its geofencing restrictions, meaning its software won't automatically stop operators from flying into areas flagged as no-fly zones.

These so-called no-fly zones are currently GEO-coded into DJI drones, which means the flying cameras would automatically steer clear. They did in the US, at least. Last year, DJI switched those controls off in the European Union, and now it's followed suit in the U.S.

DJI has lifted its geofence that prevents users from flying over restricted areas like nuclear power plants, airports and wildfires.
