The rule, not an opinion
Stages are worked out by published rules from the dated milestones above. We never rate robots, and no maker can pay to change a stage.

Regulator-cleared or mass market
A regulator has cleared it where approval applies: FDA clearance or approval for a medical robot, a permit to run with no one aboard for a self-driving vehicle, or an FAA approval for routine drone flights. Or: Widely sold: sales in the hundreds of thousands, or a product category you can buy in ordinary shops.

Paying customersThis robot
Delivered to customers who pay for it, beyond a trial, or a paid service the public can use.
Placed by: The FlyCart 100 went on sale around the world, but DJI said it would not be sold in the US for the time being (11 Dec 2025); DJI put the FlyCart 30 on sale worldwide. To fly in the US it would still need an FAA type certificate or an exemption (Jan 2024).
