With huge respect to this community, aren't we missing the point? Drones are capable of flying into planes, helicopters and pretty much anything elso on this planet. It doesn't much matter whether this was through accident, inexperience or malice, it can, will and does happen. Some of the most respected members of this site appear to put themselves in situations where they have no idea where their drone is in relation to other traffic on a daily basis. It makes for great reading and I'm generally hooked on these exciting adventures.However, these are people with considerable flying and technical skills. There are many others with no real skills doing the same things without due diligence. This being the case, the only real solution is to make the drone the intelligent party - no disrespect intended - where this overrides any command that puts it or others in potential jeopardy. Some of this already exists - geo fencing for example - but some, such as max flight distance and altitude, can be easily overridden. I realise that for many this would negate buying a drone but for others, it could mean a safer industry and even a relaxation of rules.
