Amazon.com, Inc. (NASDAQ:AMZN) and Audi AG are teaming up on a new delivery system.
The new system will allow Amazon Prime members that own an Audi vehicle to have their packages delivered to it instead of their homes. Delivery drivers will be able to track the car for the delivery and will have a code that will unlock the trunk. Once the item has been delivered and the trunk closed, the unlock code expires, reports BBC News.
Amazon and Audi are planning to test out the new trunk delivery service in Munich, Germany, the home country of the car manufacturer, in May. Customers that are worried about having their cars tracked don’t need to worry as delivery drivers can only do so for a limited period of time to make the drop off, BBC News notes.
Amazon has also been rolling out a one-hour delivery system for Prime members in certain cities. The service is currently available in Manhattan, Brooklyn, Baltimore, Miami and Dallas.
Amazon has been looking to offer drone delivery in the U.S., but has run into opposition from the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA). One drone approved for outside testing was obsolete by the time it got approval. The FAA has also place strict limits on drone testing.
