As blockchain technology is being applied to reshape other industries, the transportation industry is not left out. Over the past years, we have seen the transportation industry evolve from the use of Camels, Donkeys and Horses as means of transporting goods and services from one place to the production of Super-fast, sleek and expensive cars such as Jaguar, Ferrari and the popular Lamborghini.
Recently, new types of vehicles referred to as Autonomous Vehicles have slowly gained the attention of people globally. According to Wikipedia, “An autonomous car (also known as a driverless car, self-driving car, and robotic car is a vehicle that is capable of sensing its environment and navigating without human input”. Companies such as Google, Lyft, Tesla, and even Uber have designed, produced and some of them are already in the process of testing their brands of the self-driving vehicles. However, they are creating these vehicles using the closed platform model, and decentralized data thereby limiting the access to the use of the network by people who need to make use of it. Here is where the the idea of DAV was born.
WHAT IS DAV?
Dav is a computer network that intends to connect autonomous vehicles such as (drones, cars, ships) to everyone using the network. Dav will enable its users to discover connect and transact with each other. Let me give an illustration of how DAV will work.
Doris owns an autonomous vehicle, which she is not currently making use of and she needs some money. She will connect her vehicle to the Dav network, and the network connects her vehicle to someone who needs to make use of it and in return she is paid with DAV tokens. She lets her vehicle work for her without doing anything. This is pretty simple right? Now imagine when there are thousands of people doing this. No wonder big companies have keyed into the production of self-driving cars, because they have seen that it is the future.
THE DAV PLATFORM
- Identity: Each entity in the DAV network will have a unique identity.The information about each Identity like the transaction history, will be stored and tracked in a distributed way on the blockchain.
- Discovery: Using a peer-to-peer protocol, this part of the network allows the autonomous vehicles to discover the clients around them and the other services like charging stations.
- Communication:The communication can either be on-blockchain, like my car “asks” for payments from the client, or off-blockchain, like when my car needs some services and it sends out some messages to the providers and the providers reply with their price.
- Mission Flow: A decentralized communication protocol is in place to ensure that everything goes smoothly, from when you indicate your needs until the service is fulfilled and paid.
- Payments: The last of piece of puzzle to complete the network is the secure and trustless payment, using DAV tokens.
