Perhaps there'll have a standard docking station for robo-deliveries. In that case, you'll get a notification of the delivery. I could use one of those. I've come home to find AC compressors and car mufflers at my front door. So far, I've been lucky.


I have a receiving area. There's a small table next to my back door. A
substantial overhang protects the area from weather. We don't live in a
third-world ********, so we don't worry that much about theft.

As a bonus, every time we actually see the UPS guy, he compliments us
on our deck. I'm sure the drone will be indifferent to our skills.
