Can anyone confirm if Obstacle Avoidance works in Litchi for the side sensors on the DJI Enterprise drones? It didn’t for me today and Smuck - Airdata UAV records the side impact into a large light pole without any sensor pre-warnings. Luckily only 1 prop was damaged.
UPDATE… I’ve confirmed CO works when Litchi Pilot is running on the controller (no mission running) and running on the controller (with mission loaded). I have not tried it while actually running a mission (Too terrified.)! Has anyone else seen Litchi brake on side sensors warning while executing a mission?
I can’t answer that question. If I were you, I would set up a simple waypoint mission where the drone travels sideways at “person height” at a really slow speed. Stand in the path of the drone but be prepared to step out of the way. I’ve done similar obstacle avoidance tests. Let us know the results.

The best way is to know in a controlled test as @wesbarris said.
But first I would double check your OA settings in DJI Pilot 2 and Litchi.
Normally the drone should brake and come to a stop if there is an obstacle.
However it appears there are special cases, as DJI mentions in their developer support articles.
Some models do not support obstacle avoidance in Virtual Stick mode on the firmware, so you need to be careful when using Virtual Stick. Models known to have this problem are the M30 series.
