I feel like "avoidance" and "intelligent flight" being Y/N fields is a bit misleading.

How did you score that one?

Seems like a large scale of abilities. Does the mavic really have avoidance if it can't do multiple directions like the phantom 4 pro? Is the avoidance 100% bullet proof?

As drones get more sophisticated and capable, the metrics will need to evolve too.

I was under the impression that P4 and Mavic has the same (forward and downward sensors)?

You're right though, both of these fields are a bit vague and I think in time they'll need splitting out; but I think for now they're probably ok (as some reasonable forward avoidance and some ability to pre-program a flight, whether it be waypoints or following).
