just found out amazon's doing something pretty clever with their trunk delivery thing. so basically if you're tired of packages sitting on your porch waiting to get snatched, they'll literally open your car trunk and put stuff directly inside. it's an extension of that amazon key service they've been running where delivery workers can access your home. wild that it took them this long to think about the car angle lol

the direct trunk delivery is rolling out to prime members and works if you've got a newer gm or volvo. they use an app to pop your trunk after you give permission, so everything's locked up and out of sight. pretty solid solution for the porch pirate problem ngl. peter larsen from amazon's delivery team was talking about how the in-home service worked so well they wanted to expand beyond just houses. makes sense

only catch is it's limited to like 37 cities right now where they already run the key program. and yeah, the car compatibility is pretty narrow at the moment. they're also messing around with locker pickups at apartment buildings and convenience stores, plus testing drone delivery on some routes. interesting to see which of these actually sticks around
