If there is anything that is important to the growth of economies, it has to be the transport system. Every other economic activity is aided in one way or the other through transport. Goods and services cannot reach their intended market without a proper transportation system. Building good roads, ports and making air transport supports movement of goods and people, but there is still more that can be done especially with the increase in technology in transportation, robotics and artificial intelligence. Decentralized autonomous vehicles (DAV) is hoping to take transportation greater heights with a platform that focuses on maximum productivity for all economic sectors.

Emerging needs in transportation

Work demands are getting tougher by the day. For those who run their private businesses, or are managers in huge companies, every second determines the revenue they generate. Time for them has to be spent wisely. This time includes the time taken during transportation. Some sources cite that in cities such as London and Paris, an average of 30 minutes is spent in vehicles everyday which translates to about 23 days per year, which is almost a whole month worth of productivity. There are those that are aware of this and tend to work even in vehicles or trains to increase their productivity.

The cost of transportation is also an emerging factor. Economic uncertainties are causing more people to cut costs wherever possible, this includes transportation. Most people are now opting to lease cars or to use taxi services and public transport to save on costs spent in transportation. In as much as car loans are easy to get in most countries, the population is cautious lest a repeat of 2008 happens.

Technological solutions for transportation

It was only a matter of time before technology came up with an excellent solution for our transportation system. With brilliant minds working in research and development of viable alternatives that are cost efficient and effective in transportation and with the advancements that were taking place with artificial intelligence and computer systems, an improvement of the transport system was looming. Blockchain added important ingredients to this line-up, transparency and immutability. With blockchain, DAV is able to achieve an alternative system that will satisfy all those involved in the transportation sector.

Autonomous vehicles are the answer to most of our transportation issues. These may seem too futuristic but most people may be surprised that there are already autonomous cars and autonomous drones. Extensive research has been done and is still being done one this technology, however, from the tests that have been carried out, we are nearing an autonomous transportation ERA.

Streamlining a potential system

Autonomous vehicles could be the future of transportation. DAV is working on a platform that will streamline the services of autonomous vehicles. For those who opt to join the DAV platform, they will have access to industry firsts in the transport sector. Services such as autonomous taxis and autonomous drone delivery will be made available to members of this platform. Uber revolutionized the taxi industry and now DAV is going a step further by providing advanced options.

From the research that has been carried out, products being developed and even available prototypes, autonomous vehicles are able to receive a request for pick up and deliver the services as requested by the passenger. This may very well be a huge hit in the coming years. People will be able to move around while still working from the comfort of cars. The overall safety of these autonomous vehicles is also commendable. Passengers can travel stress free knowing they are in good technological hands. Drone deliveries will also be possible through the DAV platform.

To streamline all these technologies, DAV is making them available through its platform. Once a user registers on the DAV platform, they can access all the autonomous vehicle services being provided by service providers in the platform. DAV will offer peer-to-peer connections between the service providers and passengers.

Autonomous vehicles also require other services that will enable them to run efficiently. Autonomous vehicles use electricity as their main source of power. Demand for charging stations may increase when autonomous vehicles become fully operational. Charging station services providers will also be in the DAV platform such that owners who require their cars to get charged up can easily access a station right from the DAV platform. Parking services may also be required thus this option will also be available on the DAV platform through the parking service providers.

Some of the impacts of DAV include:

Savings are definitely going to increase as people spend less on transport.
Through the development of larger drones that can carry people, traffic jams may be a thing of the past and faster transportation may be realized.
The overall effect of DAV would be a smooth transport system that will definitely alleviate some of the issues the current transport system cannot handle. Affordable and comfortable transport options will soon become an industry standard with DAV.

ICO details

DAV wants to bring the future now. You can help DAV in their quest to streamline the transport industry by participating in their ICO which runs till 25th June 2018. Such innovations need all the support they deserve. More details on the ICO and DAV can be found on their website and whitepaper which will be linked below. DAV is the future of transportation!
