"  Chinese dronemaker SZ DJI Technology Co., which built the drone that crashed on the White House lawn on Monday, has a plan to prevent such incidents in the future. It will simply disable its aircraft if they get too close to no-fly zones. SZ DJI is creating a firmware upgrade that will prevent a drone from flying into such sensitive areas. It works by connecting the drone to satellites, which prevent it from launching if it&amp;#039;s over a restricted area. Users will have to download the update for it to work, so it&amp;#039;s not going to prevent all of these intrusions. But it may prevent some drunk or hapless pilot from flying a drone to the president&amp;#039;s front door in the future. Company spokesman Michael Perry told the Wall Street Journal that SZ DJI will also prevent its drones from crossing national borders. That&amp;#039;s something it was already working on last week, when a drone smuggling crystal meth crashed near the U.S.-Mexico border. While Monday&amp;#039;s drone intrusion at the White house was later determined to be the work of a drunk federal employee who lost control of a friend&amp;#039;s drone, it prompted security concerns, especially as the area around the Capitol, the White House, and other D.C. landmarks is a designated no-fly zone.
