Amazon Key In-Car delivers right to your car's trunk (CNET News)

2018-04-24
hey everybody I'm here at the Manhattan Classic Car Club to show you Amazon's newest delivery service now the company will deliver inside your car so this service is part of Amazon key which Amazon launched last year which started within home delivery service where they will deliver packages directly inside your house this now extends the service to your car the service will launch with 2015 model year cars or after they have to have a connected car service like OnStar and it will launch with Volvo Buick Chevy Cadillac an GMC cars so for the service to work you have to use the Amazon key app and you have to park your car within a roughly two block radius of your home or your office you include things like the make and model of your car what color it is what your license plate is and then the delivery driver will be able to find your car wherever it is parked in that radius the Amazon key in car delivery service works a lot like Amazon key for your home where the delivery driver doesn't need a specific access code or anything basically once the delivery driver is set and in the right place Amazon will automatically open the car for the delivery driver they'll be able to open it up slide the package in close and then remotely lock the car and the delivery driver has to confirm that the car is locked or they won't get their next delivery address the delivery service allows you to purchase tens of millions of different items from Amazon it includes same day to day delivery depending on what your location is it's also launching in the 37 cities where Amazon key in home is available and speaking to Amazon today they mentioned that this is another extension of Amazon key so you might expect to see Amazon key and more delivery services being added to this some time soon when Amazon key first launched last year the initial impression from the public was broadly negative at least from a lot of people folks didn't really the idea of giving Amazon access to the front doors a lot of people made fun of the service and said there's no way I'm gonna do this at least my initial impression from looking at this demo is that maybe people will be a little bit more comfortable with in-car deliveries than in home deliveries after all you don't have all your valuables really in your car at all times so it might be a little bit safer or more comfortable for people to give Amazon access to something like that I also asked Amazon if there's anything that they wouldn't deliver to your car specifically they obviously mentioned big items that wouldn't fit in your car or really expensive stuff that would require a signature they also expect customers to be a lot smarter about what they deliver specifically to your car saying if you live in Arizona and it's in the dead of summer you probably don't want to get a bunch of chocolates delivered to your car so be sure to remember not to do something like that thanks everybody for watching really appreciate it don't forget to subscribe or like or ring the bell for notifications also what do you think about Amazon key begin card delivery service for the home delivery service we'd love to hear from you so send in your comments below and we'd love to check them out
