Well, they'd have to be so well proven before they'd get certificated that they'd necessarily be very safe indeed, but if/when one had an accident I suspect the outcry would be so severe they'd never survive it so the project would be self-limiting.
And Fedex, the FAA and manufacturers know that full well.
If posters on PPRuNe can list the limitations and vulnerabilities of UAVs it is utterly fatuous to ask if they have been considered by the experts. No, of course they haven't. Why would anyone do that? d'oh!
It won't happen in the near future.
