Yes, this is great for that purpose, delivery of fairly robust urgently needed medical supplies in open country with few metalled roads. Not so great for delivery of delicate heavy consumer goods in densely populated areas, which is where most Amazon customers live.

Have just been looking at the videos of deliveries by drone in Cambridgeshire. Clearly the system works for delivery of small robust items in this flat and largely treeless part of the world. Doubt it'd work so well in London and the Home Counties.
