福克斯新闻 沃尔玛将送货服务推向新高度

Walmart taking deliveries to a new level and testing a service that will not only drop off groceries to a customer's front door, but will have the driver carry them inside and load them into the fridge.

Walmart announcing a partnership¹ with August Home, which makes the key-less locks that can be controlled with a smart phone, as well as other "smart'' devices.

Right now its being tested with some August home customers in Silicon² Valley. A driver will be dispatched to drop the order off, and if the customer is not home, the driver will enter a one-time pass code onto the house's smart lock keypad. The driver can then walk in, leave the packages in the hallway, or if their perishable³ items in the refrigerator or freezer.

Customers get a notification when the driver rings the doorbell and August Home security cameras allows them to watch the entire process from an app if they wish.

沃尔玛将送货服务推向了新的高度，目前正在进行的测试不仅会将货物直接送到顾客的门口，司机还会将货物搬到顾客家里并将产品放入冰箱。

沃尔玛声称即将与开发不用密码而用智能手机或其他“智能”设备开启的智能锁的八月之家开展合作。

目前，该项目正在硅谷的部分August用户家庭试点。送货司机收到分配任务以后，如果顾客不在家，司机会在顾客家门上的智能锁盘上输入一次性密码，进入顾客家中以后，司机可以把东西放在门廊，容易腐烂的东西则放入顾客冰箱或冰柜。

司机按门铃的时候顾客会收到通知，喜欢的话，顾客还可以通过八月之家配备的摄像头对司机的行为进行全程监控。
