With DJI, at least, it’s not easy for your drone to be “higher than you think”.
Phantom 3, Phantom 4, Mavic, all track within a foot or so of the designated coordinates in 3D space.
Default settings have an altitude cap, no matter your momentum, you can’t accidentally or intentionally cross the cap. You have to go into configuration settings to override the cap and set manually to go any higher.
Modern models also come with awareness of FAA zones.
