The mistake you make here is thinking that drones are dominated by existing shipping methods. They're not -- while they're currently more expensive than existing shipping methods, those costs will drop. Furthermore, drone delivery is going to be much faster than any method of delivery. And what's really the difference between a self-driving bike vs a self-driving small-air-vehicle? One is going to be easier to implement. There's no doubt for me that drone delivery will happen. It probably won't make sense for all packages in NYC, but it will make sense in smaller towns and for out-of-town deliveries. Drones will provide speed, reliability, and at some point cost over the alternative. [Remember, they can be charged in an arbitrary location, so their electrical bill will be the cheapest place in their flight range]
