Jelbreakable, Nintendo switches,

and Mount Goxes, Mark Carpellas,

breaks his silence.

Here's what you miss today in the world of Tech. First, Jeff Bezos wanted the keys to your front door so that he could better deliver Amazon packages to you.

Now he wants the keys to your trunk as well.

Amazon today announced a partnership with GM and Volvo that will allow its couriers to drop off packages and

leave them in customers vehicles. The service which is rolling out in 37 cities

today will only be available to Amazon Prime subscribers and owners of GM and

Volvo Vehicles model years 2015 or newer that have active on Starstar and Volvo on-call accounts.

The service will make use of the connected technologies built into a lot of modern vehicles

that will allow couriers to locate your vehicle and unlock it, the better to leave the packages inside.

Amazon says the couriers will never have access to customers' car log-in information, and everything is routed through the Amazon Key app.

You will have to connect your car to the Amazon Key app, give a brief description of your

vehicle, and we'll also need to park it within a certain distance of a given address like

your home or your work or whatever and then you can also change your mind and block

access to the car in your key app if you should need to do so. At that point the Amazon Courier will

default to the usual delivery address. Amazon has reportedly signed a two-year contract with

GM and Volvo to test this new service and according to The

Verge this is very much being thought of as a trial period. Neither of the

automakers nor Amazon are looking to earn any additional revenue with this service.
