Cities will create another problem: those drones are essentially small airplanes, so that it's pretty easy to build a strip for landing and taking off in rural areas, but smaller roofs in a populated city would make taking off harder and landing extremely hard. VTOL drones like quadcopters could solve that problem but they have much shorter range compared to similar winged aircrafts.
