I know, I was thinking the same. I mean we're slowly getting there but Peter sorely underestimated how far all of the structures needed to make the reality happen were. I don't think this was the way to fix the problem (just from Theo's objections anyway) but Peter's 'guarantee' was wrong. These guys were arrogant, slightly deluded, but I can at least see they were trying to address a problem. Fair play. Nice try. But it's not the right solution. The right solution is figuring out how to make specific deliveries timed well.

Units like this have been around for at least 20 years. The general way to solve this is by having a button on the container, that the delivery-people should press after delivery.

This is actually a problem that has killed children: early fridges locked from the outside and kids got stuck in them and died. It's not a baseless concern but it does have a very simple solution, just put in the same kind of glow in the dark emergency latch that you have in cars. Pull the latch, door opens, problem solved.

A lot of people have been making fun of that remark but when I was a kid my older brother locked me in our shed in the garden, forgot and went out to play with friends. I was 6 or so years old and was locked in with my 4 or so year old brother. He was deathly afraid of spiders, which that shed was riddled with, and neither of us were particularly found of being trapped in a shed. We were eventually discovered when I was smashing the shed apart with a Tennis racket I had found and our mother had heard that. I was very close to cutting myself quite seriously on jagged bits of wood as I tried to squeeze out of the hole I had made.

One of the most glaring issues with this, that nobody pointed out, is what if someone just comes along and walks off with it? Someone could just walk away with a week's free groceries or parcels.

As with most drop-rentals nowadays, at least in my parts, it should have a GPS chip in it that would make the bin trackable. They came in with a conceptual prototype, it was certainly in no state to be put outside someone's door like that. Gotta have a way to unlock it from the inside, it's got to be stress tested and redesigned, and as you said the issue on how to make theft preventable. It needed a lot more work before it came onto the show, and the concept itself is very susceptible to the fast drastic changes of the delivery industry.
