There are many more hurdles that realistically keep Amazon from doing what they said.

Multi-tenant housing, people running under landing drones wanting to hit the 'Sue Amazon' lottery, and airspace ownership above private property are just a few of the gigantic hurdles that will take years to sort out.

Not to mention the power consumption issue still limits this idea tremendously.

At this point, it's just as realistic that Amazon would implement pneumatic tubing to your house as it is that a drone will deliver your soap.

Airspace over private property is still public right-of-way.

Deliveries by pneumatic tube would be pretty great though.
