Drone like flying vehicles are much safer and cheaper than helicopters. Or will be at least.

I don't really agree with that. Helicopters can auto-rotate, drones can't. If something goes wrong with a drone system, it is going to crash hard guaranteed and likely doesn't have any meaningful control on the way down.

Literally any failure of the aircraft means you die.

No they have multiple engines and can survive failures.
