Have you ever been hungry behind the wheel? If stopping at a restaurant is too inconvenient, a new feature Volvo plans to introduce next week is the answer to your woes.
Known as Roam Delivery, Volvo will introduce the feature at the Mobile World Congress next month in Barcelona. Essentially, Roam Delivery brings you food regardless of your location. Because the system uses a digital key for one-time access and shows you when the doors have been unlocked and locked again, you don’t even need to be in or near your car.
Sure, there’s a good chance the person who is delivering your Pad Thai might leave the food and walk off with more than just a tip, but Roam Delivery is a very neat feature nonetheless. Ultimately, Volvo hopes to extend it to include courier deliveries from companies such as UPS and FedEx.
Roam Delivery was also part of a pilot project conducted by the automaker, where 86 out of 100 participants actually saved time with the system. The World Congress kicks off on Monday.
