Ecommerce giant Amazon is said to be developing a smart doorbell service that, similar to Walmart’s plans, will allow the delivery drivers to enter the house to drop off groceries. This comes just after the Seattle-based company was reported to be in discussions to launch a solution that would allow a direct-to-car-boot delivery. The doorbell option would allow a one-time access to the customer’s home to drop off items, instead of leaving them unattended. ‘Phrame’, the direct-to-car-boot option would see a secure box that holds car keys fitted around the number plate that will prompt customers to open with their smartphone for delivery drivers to access.
