"don't want your stuff stolen."
I would like to see a startup for what amounts to background checked, bonded, doorman service. Someone in my neighborhood I could trust to take deliveries, stuff like that. Outsourcing trust, I guess.
I could see drone delivery company "tipping" some old retired guy to solve their "last tenth of a mile" problem as he walks down the block to my house.
Alternately make all uber (or insert other) driver watch some training videos and tell them to be at xyz address at abc time and they verify safety and walk the last 50 feet and hand deliver, for a modest tip of course.
Presumably if I watched the training videos and didn't have badminton nets and kids pool and ham radio antennae in my backyard the drone could deliver directly to me and save me the cost.
