How does Amazon know they have delivered to the right address? You can't just leave it on their front lawn like in the video..
these issues are nothing for Amazon.

i saw a radio which has range of 35 Kms.

and few operate on GPS so they do not have issue about range, they can be pre-programmed to droop packets to desired address using GPS.

obviously they cant just leave the parcel on customers front lawn , what they can do is call the customer and tell him to collect the parcel via phone, as drones land on customers property. drones has camera too so amazon guys can watch remotely.

the main issue imho they will face is battery backup. but they can built lot more advanced drones with big monies.
