Drones...

yeah.. I am sure it is an option that you will have to pay for.
so if you don't pay.. they don't use the drone.

and from the video.. I am guessing, they will first send you an AMAZON landing pad to display when you sign up for this delivery option. you find a good area for it to use, lay it out and wait for delivery.

The other thing they mentioned is the drones have a 15 mile range. So you'd have to live within 7 miles of a distribution center.
 
I think when they say 15 mile range.. they included the trip back.
so... the drone can do 30 miles.

I am sure it can travel over 60 mph... so 15 mins travel to delivery.
 
Drones have become so common now my local Walgreens Pharmacy is selling a 4 rotor camera drone. I'll take a picture later this morning and add it to this post.

It's only $60 and it records video and audio to an SD card.

Why fly a drone when you can fly inside one?

The Chinese drone maker unveiled a high-flying 500 lb. drone, which in theory would also be able to serve as an autonomous transportation vehicle for real humans — at CES on Wednesday. The Ehang 184 is a giant but elegantly designed drone; according to the company, it can transport one person at approximately 100 kilometers (62 miles) per hour on a roughly 23-minute trip. It can hold about 100 kg (220 lbs).​
