Amazon launched its in-car delivery service last year. It does what the name suggests, deliver packages you’ve ordered to the trunk of your car. Only vehicles from Volo and General Motors were supported initially but this has now been expanded to include Ford and Lincoln vehicles from the 2017 model year and onwards.
There are some limitations to this, though. The service is only available in about 50 cities across the country. The vehicles need to have a modem through which the user can connect to Ford’s connected car cloud services, Lincoln Connect, and FordPass connect.
This delivery option is only available to Amazon Prime Members. Any packages larger than 26 x 21 x 16 inches in size and weighing over 50 pounds will require a signature upon delivery. Items from third-party sellers are not allowed for in-car delivery.
Once a customer has opted for this shipping option, Amazon will send them a series of notifications to keep up with their package right until the moment the package is on its way. Access can be granted to the delivery person through the Amazon Key app. The app can also be used to change delivery locations or also to block access to the car. If the vehicle is blocked, Amazon then defaults to the customer’s backup delivery location.

Tesla is reportedly looking to take a major step in order to prevent the decline of its solar business. According to a new report, the company is thinking about selling its solar panels at a price that’s 38 percent less than the national average. The company is aiming for a price between $1.75-$1.99 a watt compared to the $2.85 national average.
According to the New York Times, Tesla’s solar department head Sanjay Shah is looking to make this happen. He says that Tesla will achieve this price cut by standardizing more of its installations.
This means that customers will only be able to buy panels in increments of 4kW or 12 panels. They may also be asked to do some parts of the home installation such as photographing electric meters and circuit breaker boxes themselves instead of requesting a visit from Tesla.
Tesla is hoping to revive sales for its solar division with this price cut as it has seen a significant decline recently. It deployed 47 megawatts in the first quarter of this year compared to 73 megawatts in the same period last year. Tesla has now dropped to third place in terms of solar installations in the country. Shah also says that Tesla’s solar roof sales may begin in the second half of this year.

After the city passed new rules designed to get a grip on the rising growth of ride-hailing companies, both Uber and Lyft have now stopped accepting new drivers on their platforms in New York City. Uber says that it’s no longer accepting new drivers “in part to new TLC regulations,” by which it means the new Taxi and Limousine Commission regulations.
The New York City Council passed this legislation in December last year. It mandates that ride-hailing companies pay their drivers at least $17.22 per hour after expenses. The formula is based on the “utilization rate” which makes up the share of time that a driver spends with passengers in their vehicle compared to the time they spent idle, waiting for a fare.
The rules also impose penalties on companies that run too many cars on the city’s streets without passengers. The higher a company’s utilization rate, the less it has to pay drivers in order to meet the new wage requirements.
“Because of TLC regulations, we’re currently not accepting new drivers in New York City,” Lyft said, adding that “We do have a waitlist and will let drivers know when they can apply to drive.” Uber adds that it will once again seek to add new drivers as existing ones exit and the demand from riders increases.
