The world has entered the era of connected cars, and the value of it will become increasingly prominent. The combination of future connected cars, big data and blockchain will not only create many applications of intelligent transportation, but also bring about changes in people’s car lifestyle, and will also initiate many new business models. By 2020, the Internet of Vehicles is expected to usher in a trillion-dollar market.
Blockchain together with the connected car has following advantages:1. Use the blockchain characteristic that the stored data can’t be tampered. For example using the unique account of the vehicle VIN code to access the blockchain system. Due to the inability to modify the blockchain, violation information, vehicle failure, the site information of traffic accidents will be permanently recorded in the blockchain, which can achieve the solidification of evidence and solve the problem of vehicle data integrity.
2. The blockchain can play an important role in car business such as auto repair & auto parts, vehicle management, car manufacturers, car rental, insurance, etc. Smart contracts enable automatic execution of transactions. A blockchain can be used to record the complete lifeline of the vehicle.
3. Among vehicles, consumers and service providers, by sharing data protected by the blockchain, driving safety and service provider management efficiency are improved.
4. Data generates value. Through the collection of data inside and outside the vehicle during driving, the user has his own data and can share it with a third party. (such as the second-hand trading market, the car insurance industry) let the integrity data generate value and make users profit.
