How about this: Instead of dispatching drones from a warehouse, how about dispatching them from a delivery vehicle? So the Semi filled with orders drives into a town (doesn't even have to park), and these drones fly back and forth from it delivering packages -- it saves the driver the need to stop at each address, yet it also allows deliveries further from the warehouse.

Another interesting drone concept I'd like to see explored: self driving package truck that drives around to the locations, sends an SMS to the person when it is near (I imagine would could have a decently complex system of commands with SMS such as scheduling preferred time, location, or rescheduling a failed delivery).

But I think abigger issue might be things like (1) signatures; (2) porches, yards, dogs; and (3) multi-tenant high-rises (without doormen, etc). Some of these could be worked-around (eg, landing pads on the roof...or bolted on the side of a building...including a 'chute' to the basement)
