Topic: Blockchain Car history verification system - page 2. (Read 1706 times)

Main problem right now is - how make people fill this data, and stimulate them to make it. Especially my vision here - it can start from a couple of interested organizations, that would like to use such service, and sell this service to their potential clients, and then increase influance to private market.
For data input we use normal web application with UI and all staff.

If we use this way, it can answer your questions:
- The papers which are provided during purchasing the car.has all the valid information that is buying date,Engine number which can't be altered..    Official dealers start to fill data with papers from car "born" then this information follows during yeach-year service, untill car will pass to another person.
- Do you really need blokchain for that ? My thought here that blockchain can help us build long, non-changeble chain that store all data and check previous data. It can be used not only for car checking, but for vehicle parts verification for manufactury. In this case we can use smart-contract flow.
- The distance car has run in his course also couldn't be altered since the meter display the exact time from the day it was launched.The documents you get with the car have unique customer ID's which records are maintained with the insurgence companies and you can verify them online People can change distance manually, and using blockchain we can verify previous value of distance.
- As long as exporting them,why would someone pay twice the price of an actual car just for shipping ? It's totally depends from country. Right now a lot of people bring cars from USA to EU, and From EU to Ukraine, for example. Few years ago, during big crysis in Russia, a lot of people from nearest countries (Belarus and etc.) came and buy cars with 30-40% difference on used-car market.
I thougth crises and similar events have been cased, so in future it will be much easier to check car's quality.

Your questions is very concreted, thank you for your feedback. Let me know your vision here.

Yes, we cannot make tracking for all car usage cases (especially fuel type and quality usage, small fixes on the garage and etc.)
Regarding your case with Lithuania, the same way is in Russia, when you can find cars with renamed VIN number and par cars.
I thought we can track not only car in general, if person is ready to fill all data in database, but also it can allow us track vehicles parts, and what parts were setup on each car.
My vision here is to make a kind of instrument for users, that works in automative indusrty to organize history storage and tracking not only car in general, but vehicle parts, and car owner data.

I think the idea is very good. However I have some concerns about it. For example, how to proceed with vehicles that had a serious accident? There are lots of vehicles in Europe (especially from Lithuania) where one car actually consists of 3 or 2. Also many people do some changes to their cars by themselves, so it would be hard to track such changes. Even if all data about car is recorded to blockchain you cannot put there information about how car was used that is also have a big influence on the car condition. In my opinion, the idea is good for limited number of cases.

I analysed your idea and certainly have a few concerns,
 -> The papers which are provided during purchasing the car.has all the valid information that is buying date,Engine number which can't be altered.
-> Do you really need blokchain for that ?

-> The distance car has run in his course also couldn't be altered since the meter display the exact time from the day it was launched.The documents you get with the car have unique customer ID's which records are maintained with the insurgence companies and you can verify them online.

-> As long as exporting them,why would someone pay twice the price of an actual car just for shipping ?

Where I'm at you can check a car's safety test history through the government along with mileage.

Srrvice history is another matter and having something accessible would be great, especially for imports. Places like australia and the uk have tons of used japanese imports with no history.

Some cars are serviced but have no documents to prove it. But i don't know how you prove blockchain entries as being true.

They can't be changed of course but what stops them being lies to start with?

Sounds like an intresting Project.

But how do you realize that every change at the car will automatically uploaded to the blockchain.

I guess you'll need an watchdog system with is programmed to ever engine contol unit and connected with the network?

Thank you for your feedback. Yes, this is interesting case cause you go to agency, and agency follow their interests, and sometimes data about the car is not clear. Also, we mention very good case if Insurance company would like to organize request for this database and verify car or car owner, before make incurance process.

Thank you for your feedback. If i correct understand you, do you mean something simple existing, but with 1 centralized owner?
What do you think, will you trust such system, based on blockchain in case of big data amount inside? And if this data store for a couple of years for different countries?

if you can make it possible to record the system you are talking about in a factory state without selling  vehicles then the program you will be doing will definitely be successful.I apologize for the translation as if it was not clear but what I want to tell you is:save it to the blockchain system before the cars are sold.if you can do it, the application you want to do is logical.the idea that you mentioned about the country I live in has been used for years. I can reach all records belonging to the car only by sending a message to the agency that provides this service.but this information can be hidden and changed differently than you are talking about.at this point your idea may be needed.

A project like this already exist, but I don't know if they already started to make something concrete. Worldline created a blockchain for the car market... The cars are included in this open book. Then, each check or repair carried out on the vehicle will be entered in the blockchain.

So no matter from where you buy the car you are still able to know exactly what the car got since its birth

Hello everyone!
Me and small amount of inspired people working on a project to help byers to check and validate used car history.

I have investigate different markets, and areas in some amount of countries. There are a lot of ready systems, that supported by official dealers and brands to check used cars, their history, road accidents and etc.
My main question is:
If i would like to buy used car remotely, for example to bring it from USA to EU or to CIS region, how can i be sure, thats this car is ok?
Normally we have a lot of dishonest sellers and intermediaries parties to whom we must pay money for consulting. Services that hosted locally can be corrupted, and sellers can buy and mark their ads.
With official dealers centers you couldn't be sure that sale-guy will tell you truth and and does not take his interests into account.

Here we can use the philosophy of blockchain, for the preservation of detailed cars information. Data can be stored decentrally, nobody can change previous block with data, starting from the cars "born" time. Every new block can be related with previous, and storeeverything.


Dear forum users, i would like to ask your opinion about this topic, is it actual problem in your country, and can you trust such service to check and verify data? We are ready for all feedbacks 
Thank you in advance!

P.S
Right now we are working on main UI and smal demo application, to show how users can insert data and check this data per request using blockchain.
I apologize in advance for my English mistakes
