After 39 years building H/W & S/W systems for the DOD and 15 years of those working with UUVs here are my observations:
These drones have a number of sensors that are used collectively to navigate. The IMU , GPS, or Compass can be used independently should other sensors fail. If a Flyaway occurs it is most likely the fault of the S/W not handling an abnormal condition. I think DJI makes some a really nice and impressive product for the price but their S/W seems to be poorly written. Example: read all the problem with the DJI GO App.
I hope the S/W engineers that work for DJI don't get a job with GM or Ford
Just my 2c worth
