Well, no it's not "quite doable"
Unless your definition of doable is "the landing zone must be in the middle of a large open space and clearly marked with highly contrasting colors". And must not be experiencing winds stronger than 10 or so mph. And can't have any obstructions nearby like trees, houses or even telephone poles. And absolutely can not have varying conditions like vehicles driving around that the computer has to plot the trajectory of.
People seem to think that autonomous drones are capable of flying into a carport and neatly landing on a dinner plate sized landing strip, when realistically even a human operator has difficulty performing that kind of feat.
Sorry if that comes of as overly harsh. Everyone seems to think that "OMG drones will do that". The reality is very different, they're substantially more limited and don't even get me started on what a realistic payload for one would be.
