I really wonder how the full delivery scenario is envisioned. Where do the Drone deliver the package? In front of my home? Do I have to go climb on top of roof? Does it call me or send me and SMS once it's there or do I need to stand outside?
One of the challenges here would seem to be that the places where this could most obviously work (where you have standalone houses with space around them) simultaneously tend to have a lot fewer takeout delivery options today. Maybe this hypothetical delivery service would increase the delivery range but it's not obvious why it would.
Conversely, this would be very challenging in a city and there are tons of cheap delivery options already.
