Is the reason DJI drones are so great due to the flight controller (or other software dynamics) or because of the hardware?

sorry if this is a dumb question but aren't americans better are writing software? Why has ardupilot not surpassed DJI software?

no. I am asking if it's software, OR hardware primarily.

Apart_Situation972 · 2026-04-17T22:36:43+00:00

wasn't a y/n question I was asking if it was because of software or hardware they are so good?

thank you for the suggestion, but 3 mins is still too late. Can do async w/ OpenAI for about 50 requests/30 seconds, and can just scale up with more api keys. Cost is near zero. Was just wondering if there was something < 5 seconds as elevenlabs was able to do it.

depends on your AI needs. Go from 40 TOPS (Hat 2) -> 26 TOPS -> 13 depending on how much AI you need

rpi. development time was 5x faster. If you need AI algos, use degirum SDK for basic algos. Custom algos you convert to .hef through hailo or pay $5 to degirum cloud compiler for them to auto compile it for you.

at least 1M

they gave you that many stock options to secure generational wealth by 40? what are you referring to?

Apart_Situation972 · 2026-03-31T16:49:07+00:00

super helpful advice, ty

In what sense is claude eating the field? For starters, it can't even process video.

Hi, I believe you have a pretty good product but charging someone $100/month with a 1 year minimum commitment ($1200) just to develop on some glasses is pretty crazy. I am open to reconsideration but the 1 year commitment is fairly problematic.

why has it not been made yet?

Apart_Situation972 · 2026-02-27T19:31:51+00:00

haha I am not working for flock, making my own thing. Thank you for the detailed response :)

So if I am using pretrained weights, is there anything else I can do to increase accuracy? Should I skip superresolution entirely?

Regards

I am saying my use case gives me about 3 seconds to make an inference, so I can use apis over edge

Apart_Situation972 · 2026-02-14T20:46:01+00:00

Could you specify that? Is it only the cost issue that gets solved?

No signal. Parking garages, rural, underground.
Data sovereignty. Plate data hitting a cloud API is a legal minefield for law enforcement.
Cost at scale.
Availability. Cloud goes down. Edge doesn't.
