Products: VTOL drone. Risk band: Elevated   RobotRisk index 17.3/100 (incidents/exposure, time-weighted) · 95th percentile of 171 drones evtol companies.

Analyst brief

The record holds one entry for Autel Robotics: the FCC's December 2025 addition of the company to its Covered List, barring new drone models from the US market, coded regulatory with severity 3. This is a regulatory action rather than a safety incident, reflecting a market-access restriction rather than a reported malfunction, fire, or injury. An index of 17.4 places Autel at the 95.3rd percentile within drones-evtol, indicating the category's index weighting elevates regulatory exclusion actions relative to peers despite the absence of any incident-type entry. The record is a single regulator-driven action with no trajectory data beyond this one listing.
