Afterward the car relocks and sends the owner confirmation that the delivery is complete. Before the package is delivered you get a message asking if you will accept car delivery for this package.
“Many people work or lead hectic lifestyles,” says Klas Bendrik, chief information officer at Volvo Car Group. “Deliveries to the car would save time and money.” Not to mention unnecessary stress and disappointment.
