I'm skeptical of the idea that drones will deliver everything. That's like saying planes will deliver everything because they're faster than ships. Yet last I checked, most goods are transported on container ships. The thing everyone talking about drones fails to take into account is cost. Drones are very flexible because of their size and the fact that they fly, but as a result they don't scale well. A UPS truck on the other hand can't drive straight line distances between destinations, but it can hold a ton of packages at once without needing to return to some sort of distribution center.
