I tried to find those stats when I was writing my comment, but I had to settle for overall info. Unless delivery vehicles are incredibly safe compared to vehicles overall, my point stands. To cause comparable harm, drones would have to be deadlier than the most pessimistic projections.
Also, drones can substitute for more than just delivery vehicles. They could replace most car trips involving moving things (as opposed to moving people). Instead of driving to the Apple store, a drone could pick up your broken laptop and return it when it's fixed. A drone could pick up and return your dry cleaning. Drones could deliver groceries. Etc. The end result is fewer car trips and fewer people maimed or killed.
