Amazon has built up a lot of trust over the years as it's evolved from digital storefront to ecommerce empire. Now it's testing the limits of that trust with Amazon Key.
It's a simple enough concept,Watch The Girl Next Door (2017) Korean movie and it really solves a problem: The main thing Amazon does is deliver packages to your door, but there's always the question of what happens when you're not home. In many cases, that package may find a different home if it doesn't get through your door right away.
Amazon Key, which includes a smart lock and security camera, will let the delivery person in your front door andlet you keep an eye on them, from wherever you are. In cities where lots of people live in apartments, the idea has merit.
It also has a lot of connotations Amazon would like to avoid. The company is already a presence in many households through its Echo devices and Alexa voice assistant, and Amazon Key feels like a bridge too far. It also speaks to just how much we're willing to allow tech companies encroach into our lives, including in places where we'd never trust the government to intrude.
