I agree; delivery services will only make sense with autonomous delivery (which I suspect is the long-term plan for all of them - Uber included). But realistically, the R&D required there is crazy if you're trying to be first to market - Amazon and Uber are investing billions in this, and they're the competition.
Once drones or autonomous cars become widespread, this business becomes a commodity and anyone without a legacy business they have to migrate will be at an advantage. So I have no idea why these companies are getting funded other than it's a problem that's simple enough for a really smart university student to tackle.
