Ask HN: Thoughts on US drone industry after Chinese production ban

1•guywithahat•2h ago
So as you may or may not know, over the past year the Trump admin has been moving to ban Chinese drone sales in the US, and is finally pulling the trigger and banning them (with more information to come). FCC Chair: https://x.com/BrendanCarrFCC/status/2003179047438762084

This means you won't be able to import new drone models from Chinese companies like DJI or Autel. Is anyone trying to take advantage of this? It seems like there's about to be a huge shakeup in the consumer and professional drone market yet nobody is talking about it.

I'd love to hear your thoughts, and especially if anyone is working on a company associated with this ban (one which either produces drones or is going to move towards the consumer market).

It all stems from this: https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/2019/05/17/2019-10....

Chinese made telecommunications, EV cars, drones, or anything that can be used to provide a detailed map/surveillance of the US by China will eventually be banned.
