The technology is there, its certainly possible.
Is it reliable enough to be safe?What happens if a drone has a technical issue and plummets to the ground?
How will it fit in with current air traffic control requirements?
During building and testing I have caught a knuckle with a 22 volt drone prop when it started unexpectedly, so hardly any rpm.
It really hurts.
Full speed is like a strimmer and could lead to life changing injuries.
Standing near one when it is flying is a bit worrying.
Flying on a windy day is ridiculously hard.

Drone/GPS technology might just about be feasible in a delivery area of large detached properties with large gardens but I doubt it's accurate enough to deliver to a sprawling area of urban terraces or even to most densely populated suburban areas.
Doubt that they could successfully operate in anything other than near perfect weather conditions.
Scallies with catapults.
