Amazon is working to make sure your packages get inside the front door, or even into your car. The company is in advanced talks to forge a partnership with Phrame, a maker of smart license plates that allow items to be delivered to a car's trunk. Phrame's product fits around a license plate and contains a secure box that holds the keys to the car.
Users unlock the box with their smartphone, and can grant access to others — such as delivery drivers — remotely. At the same time, Amazon is developing a smart doorbell device that would give delivery drivers one-time access to a person's home to drop off items.
