But it's not a substitute
Just like only flying with GPS is no substitute for well practiced flying in ATTI.
They might incorporate it in the I2 and would be a good move for sales. But like Dave said just fly safe and keep practicing. The old saying practice makes perfect.
The Inspire is already too heavy due to a landing gear lifting system and X5 camera/gimbal, there's not much overhead for extra payload. 3D collision avoidance system may be implemented in DJI Matrice bird for significant amount of money, but only because there's enough juice to carry it on board.
Ah, all these smart, good drones ... It's just a matter of time when badass drones will carry laser guns, able to kill every hot-blooded creature on the ground. When this is done they'll shoot every reptile, fish and insect, cleverly avoiding shooting each other ... (correction: some deep sea creatures may survive) ... And when this is done they'll establish new civilization with enslaved Drones For Good ...
Of course all big planes are controlled by complex collision avoidance system globally, my friend. If not that they'll crash with each other everyday in hundreds, no matter how skilled pilots are. But it has nothing to do with autonomous, sensor equipped on-board devices ...
“An issue for most drones these days is that they cannot co-exist with other aircraft as they could be serious flight obstructions, which can bring more harm than good,” sounds awesome to me

Yes, autonomous flight is a different ball game but aren't they talking about large, commercial jet aircraft that will fly themselves in the future without pilot or co-pilot? I'm sure it's a ways off but never say never. I'm sure we'll see collision avoidance on our small RC craft before long as standard equipment or at least as an add-on.
True that. I'm all for keeping our RC craft below, 400' in the U.S. but wouldn't mind a collision avoidance system just in case there's a malfunction with my RC or my flying (hey, I'm not perfect). I thoroughly scout where I will fly for clients, or even just to get good b-roll for future use. The other day I walked an entire flight path but simply didn't see a small wire strung low across a creek. Luckily when flying the creek I (just) missed the wire. I saw it later in post. I'm not sure if a collision avoidance system would detect something that small, heck, I didn't see it but if it could, that would give me peace-of-mind.
