Drones delivery to reduce vehicle trips?

Popular YouTuber Mark Rober points out the absurdity of using multi-ton vehicles to deliver a pound or two of food.  Drone delivery has been talked about for years, but Rober thinks it's now on the cusp of being a reality, thanks to quieter and safer drones.

The company profiled has actually already being doing this in other cities and countries, including for delivering medical supplies to remote areas in Africa.
