Amazon's first drone delivery

How does it know where to land? Not everyone has a nice open level field available. It appears you have to live fairly close to the distribution center. Get off your rear and go there. Combine your trip with whatever you have to go out for. If a person is really a shut in, how could they go out in the field to pick up the package? Oh, they'd have a helper? Why couldn't the helper get the thing while shopping for other stuff? Only a limited variety of "needs" can be delivered this way, so leaving the home for "things" is necessary. About the only real use I can see for this is emergency situations or delivering ammo to surrounded troops. Can you tell I'm home from work? Hey, when are we each getting that flying car?
