Alongside DJI, Autel Robotics was placed on the FCC's Covered List, blocking FCC equipment authorization for new Autel drone models and components over unaudited national-security risk concerns; Autel publicly disputed the China-data-access rationale. Existing Autel drones remain legal to operate and retained firmware-update support through at least 2029.
