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.

We live in a condo so there's that... OTOH, my son made a claim for non-delivery of a package and had the item re-sent. He later discovered the package in the door fronting the street. It had been left there for weeks. If we could have have drone delivery on the upstairs lanai, that would be just awesome.
