On Wednesday, Amazon announced a new service called “Amazon Key.”
The new product works with Amazon’s new Cloud Cam, an Amazon Key app, and a smart lock, to allow delivery drivers to drop off packages inside Prime customers’ homes when they aren’t around.
The kit costs $249.99.
Amazon says the delivery drivers are “thoroughly vetted.”
Suffice it to say, the reaction to this new service has been mixed.
Apple: “Our ‘Pay With Your Face’ feature on the new iPhone might cause identity theft. What worse could we do with technology?”
Amazon: “Hold my beer. We’re helping home invasion.”
