The more I think about it, the more I can totally see drone based delivery. I can't see it for important stuff like mail because of liability and all that crap, but perhaps food, like shown here, or newspapers. Newspaper drones would also play the music from the NES "Paperboy" game.

Will tip if it delivers through the open window, directly onto my dinner table. But only if the pizza is still hot, and if the delivery took no less than 20 minutes from ordering. Also it has to be polite. Extra, if there's a bad storm.

A good system would be, if you could sign up their delivery service, buy a charging station, and replace the drone's battery upon delivery with a freshly charged one.

Go ahead and fly that thing in the "hood", it will be like skeet shooting for them, this would only work in rich, affluent areas..

In a perfect world yes. Here in 'Merica it would be stripped for scrap metal while homeboy took the pizza back to moms place.

I'd give it the exact same thing as I give the regular delivery driver: a peek o' pee-pee when I 'accidentally' forget to close my bathrobe.
