My DJI Air 2S on a parking lot island near the former JCPenney store building at Lakeforest Mall in Gaithersburg, Maryland.

This came about when I was trying to fly back to my launch point on a low battery, and it went into a forced landing on the way when the battery reached a critically low level. At that point, the vehicle begins to land regardless of anything else, and you have until it reaches the ground to place it at the location of your choice. I was over a large empty parking lot, and while I was fairly confident that no one would accidentally run over my drone if I landed it on the pavement, landing on one of the parking lot islands was a lot safer, because I could be certain that no one would accidentally run it over. After landing, I used the tracking feature to locate exactly which island I landed it on, and then set it to flash and beep so that I could successfully recover it.
