I've been wondering why Amazon oriented their smart lock delivery service to an orwellian camera and lock in the home setup instead of hooked to an outdoor box like this.


The lessor known service allows you to deliver to your car's trunk:

Because they want to deliver groceries into your fridge in the near future.


I can only imagine that in my case (if I were dumb enough to use such a service):

After getting past my barking dogs (plus the small one that likes to bite people) - they'd get to the fridge, the dogs would shut up ("the person is going to the magic box where good tasting things come from - maybe they'll drop something!"), open up the fridge...

...then get to "play tetris" trying to fit the crap inside an already full unit.


Even worse in terms of invasiveness.
