In Prime Now, I think they probably try to group as many as possible, but if they can't, I'd imagine they'd have to go themselves. Especially since after your order, the app becomes basically a tracking app:

At this point in the purchase, the Prime Now app becomes a tracking app. You get a map showing you where the package is coming from, who the name of your courier is, and a small purple dot to track that driver along his or her route. When you package is ten minutes from its destination, you'll get a text message warning you the package is nearby.
