DJI Air 3 Sideways Down the Street

We took the DJI Air 3 on a Sunday drive down the street sideways so we could look at the houses from a perspective similar to driving a car down the street. After takeoff and some early maneuvering, we headed off at a leisurely 5 mph or so at about 15 feet of altitude. That's low enough to hit some trees, bushes, and street lights, but we'll rely on the Air 3's obstacle avoidance system to safely bypass them on its own.

At the end of the street, we climb to a 100 feet or so and then engage the drone's autonomous Return to Home capability. Landing was fully automatic, pretty much exactly at the takeoff sidewalk block.
