Ford partners with Amazon to permit package deliveries to owners’ cars

Ford Motor stated on Tuesday it partnered with Amazon.com Inc to permit members of the ecommerce company’s loyalty club Prime to deliver packages to their vehicles when they are not at home.

In 2018, the world’s largest online retailer started presenting a program in the United States to deliver packages to its members’ parked vehicles, as part of a drive to leave parcels where they cannot be easily theft.

The ‘Key by Amazon In-Car delivery’ offering is going to be available for owners of select Ford 2017 and later model vehicles geared up with connectivity service, also for owners of Lincoln 2018 and later model cars, Ford stated.

“It’s a convenient, secure way to ensure your packages are delivered directly to you when you are out for the day, expecting bad weather or wondering if your package is safe,” the automaker stated.
