The drones in those pictures generally have a very short duration; probably
in the order of 20 to 30 minutes. I don't see them doing much remote
delivery.
The drone performance was quite adequate to the task at hand, and it's
a smart move.

What you saw is Amazon getting its name all over newspapers, TV
screens and blogs in the middle of the holiday shopping season. They
paid the cost of producing and airing a commercial; the rest comes at
no additional charge!

As another poster suggests, the system demonstrated would cause a
historic business boom for pediatric and veterinary hospitals.
