Mobilku.com - Britain's first contactless car vending machine has been unveiled by Auto Trader, offering customers a non-human interactive way to purchase a new car. The vending machine, installed at Spitalfields Market, allows purchases of up to £21,000 via contactless payment using a smartphone. It contains a brand-new Renault Zoe, which is one of the most searched for electric cars in the country, according to Auto Trader. The vehicle comes with a price tag of £16,000 - down from the recommended retail price of £22,470.
Auto Trader said a team of six engineers spent three months designing and building the automatic car dispenser. A custom-made point of sale system and key release function was created, along with an integrated payment and door release mechanic. The vending machine is designed to help customers overcome the embarrassment and discomfort of negotiating over the price of a new car.
In a survey of 2,000 British car owners by Auto Trader, 41% said that having to negotiate with someone on price was top of their list of anxieties about buying a new car. This is followed by hidden costs (39%), worrying about making the wrong decision (28%) and having to wait a long time to receive a car after buying it (25%).
"Buying a brand-new car is an exciting experience, but it can often be tarnished by anxiety around negotiating and knowing whether you’re looking at the right price," a spokesperson for Auto Trader said. "So today we're showcasing a real-life version on what can be found on Auto Trader; brand new cars at transparent prices that you can drive away today."
