A new-start Belgian company is setting up a trial service that will offer to deliver ecommerce packages direct to recipients’ unattended cars.

Cardrops has been founded by Nick De Mey and Philippe De Ridder, whose Antwerp-based business innovation company Board of Innovation had been working with ecommerce companies and automotive companies identifying potential new business opportunities, before discovering a potential niche of its own connecting the two sectors.

Using smart vehicle technology, Cardrops believes it can provide an alternative delivery point for consumers to avoid missing ecommerce package deliveries...

I can see that working It's hard enough keeping the wee scroats out of our cars without giving them electronic access codes.

Wouldn't it be more likely that Yodel would just throw it over the car park fence.
It sounds like a good way to set someone up,you get pulled over by the cops,look in the back seat and there's a parcel from Amsterdam with half a kilo in it.
Honest officer...i've never seen that parcel before.

I think i may have come up with a better idea for both the business and posties.....why don't RM provides us all with hand trowels so that if customers are not in..we can dig a large enough hole in their gardens,lob their packets in the hole,cover it...and post a card through their letter box saying their packet is in the garden..we could perhaps have little markers much like golf flags with RM's logo on them planted where their packet is....

What a bloody stupid idea

Yeah lets hand my cars transponder code to some courier who prob does not speak the lingo. WTF

I thought that cars use a rolling code now anyway.

Just a safe box type thing with a latch catch would do.
