> How would the autonomous delivery trucks you are talking about actually deliver the packages?

For the first iteration, I'd have a human take the boxes from the truck to the door. The truck would have one of those laser designators like Kiva uses for amazon warehouses to help the human pick the box. The difference is that the human is a minimum wage drone instead of a unionized teamster, so the savings could be quite substantial.

Plus, since the truck is automated, it doesn't have to be static while the picker is out running with the package.
