Drone maker will disable drones from flying near White House

Drone maker DJI has announced that it will disable all of it's drones from flying over air space near the White House.

This statement comes after a Phantom drone crashed onto the White House's lawn, causing a stir about security there, by a pilot who had been drinking.

The Chinese drone maker had previously state that they have programmed their drones to stop flying when they fly too close to airports.

The company can also track each of their drone's positions through GPS and configure which areas are off-limits.

The drone industry has agreed with the Obama administration that more regulations on drones is needed, but has been held back by the FAA, which has moved slowly to establish new rules.
