I think they will deliver to specific locations, like organ delivery to a hospital, or car parts from one spot on an industrial campus to another. Probably not ever to consumers, except in sparsely populated areas. Consumer delivery over cities, probably will never happen.

It will be interesting to see what happens with this test. Also what kind of drone they use. There's a big difference between a mavic, and something like an M-600. I wonder what they will use. Either way it probably won't turn out well for the engine. Also, flying straight into the engine is...
