Now, Lee is really making sense.
The drone issue is highly controversial. I know the FCC is working on
rules but that's only the start. There are issues with
- noise
- safety
- privacy
- effectiveness.
The first three are obvious. Lee touches on the fourth. There are
problems with accessing covered porches, avoiding eaves, bushes, wires,
and other aerial obstructions.
On the other hand, a robot device could navigate anywhere a human does.
It could also be loading the next stop's package(s) while the truck is
traveling. Couple that with autonomous vehicles (in some future century
:) and the whole process becomes much more efficient than today.

In my opinion, the "delivery drones" have the wrong paradigm. The delivery
drone really doesn't need to travel long distances or carry more than one package.
The real issue is the final 50-100 feet of delivery.
Very true! Moreover, the delivery drone doesn't even have to fly. It could equally well
be a robot. Something "ground based" will also have an easier time dealing with
heavier packages, putting a package inside a door, ringing doorbells, etc. It could be an
EV, too. :-)
