How would that be different from current delivery services? Yes they also use roads, but they are not numerous enough to be the cause of traffic jams, so that wouldn't make a difference in that regard.
By making easier and cheaper to deliver products as grocery and catering services, not only Amazon / Alibaba / the like parcels. And people going shopping / restaurant make a significant part of the traffic.
There's not going to be millions of micro-drones delivering your lunch to you, and most of the shopping / restaurant visits are done because people want to do them or are travelling anyway.
That's right, but still each electrically powered UAV trip seems to be better to air quality and CO_2 emissions than a trip by a combustion-engine-powered car.
Not necessarily. I think many people, including me, are perfectly happy spending whole day at home. It is very convenient when you can order something almost to your door, and it would be ideal without burning fossil fuels or exploiting delivery people.
