I build UAV/UGV robots for living, a way to counter the “no commands” issue is having several fail-safe mechanisms in place in the flight controller like as soon as or after X period of time, an auto mode kicks in or activates the off board commands. I actually built a whole end-end platform with UI and a low latency encrypted tunnel to fly drones from anywhere in the world with sub 50ms latency -one time a pilot was in Australia flying a drone in Canada-, it has these fail dafe plus a fault tolerance system for the network/power, heavily tested in the filed by big clients, I might release it as a SaaS as in addition to the usuals like remote flight, and the fancy like collision avoidance in GNSS denied environment, I’m working to integrate now the ability flying swarms over the internet, and might go wild and open source it completely but still early for such talk.
