This data has to be collected, analyzed, and acted on, instantly and precisely. A blockchain can store and, what\u2019s more important, verify the accuracy of received data. Connected cars form a complex distributed system, and a blockchain can increase trust between autonomous vehicles by continuously verifying events that are exchanged within the network. Also, a blockchain offers better protection from hackers. True, it\u2019s not impossible to hack a blockchain, but it\u2019s much harder than hacking a traditional database.<\/p>\n<p>Another problem blockchains address is network connectivity. Centralized systems may suffer network breakdowns that can lead to accidents (as in the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.theguardian.com\/technology\/2018\/mar\/22\/self-driving-car-uber-death-woman-failure-fatal-crash-arizona\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">case<\/a> of Uber\u2019s self-driving car), while the decentralized nature of a blockchain ensures that no connectivity downtime can occur.<\/p>\n<p>The blockchain is making self-driving cars safer, and this reason alone is enough to make OEMs invest in it. Still, there are other implementations of blockchain technology that can reshape transportation, manufacturing, and the user experience within the automotive industry.<\/p>\n<div><a href=\"https:\/\/intellias.com\/top-5-features-to-ensure-you-re-still-alive-after-riding-in-autonomous-car\/\" class=\"cta-wrap \">\n                    <div class=\"left-col\">\n                        <p class=\"cta-title\">Learn about the advanced safety features that will make you trust your self-driving car<\/p>\n                        <div class=\"cta-block__content\">\n                            <div class=\"description\"><\/div>\n                        <\/div>\n                    <\/div>\n                     <span class=\"btn-filled\">Read more<\/span>\n\t\t        <\/a><\/div>\n<h2>Five automotive industry trends where the blockchain can make a difference<\/h2>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-14099 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/intellias.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/use-of-blockchain-in-automotive.png\" alt=\"5 Ways to Leverage the Blockchain in the Automotive Industry\" width=\"770\" height=\"450\" srcset=\"https:\/\/intellias.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/use-of-blockchain-in-automotive.png 770w, https:\/\/intellias.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/use-of-blockchain-in-automotive-300x175.png 300w, https:\/\/intellias.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/use-of-blockchain-in-automotive-768x450.png 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 770px) 100vw, 770px\" \/><\/p>\n<h3>Smart automotive manufacturing<\/h3>\n<p>The automotive supply chain is a complex mechanism involving numerous parties. Delays or issues at any level mean financial losses. A distributed ledger makes it possible to share a common database between OEMs, equipment distributors, software and hardware providers, regulatory agencies, and others. Blockchain-based systems can ensure transparency, information accuracy, quick detection of problems, instant money transfers, and compliance with regulations.<\/p>\n<p>The blockchain also adds to the security of autonomous and connected cars, since it can connect manufacturers within a <a href=\"https:\/\/corporatenews.pressroom.toyota.com\/releases\/toyota+research+institute+explores+blockchain+technology.htm\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">common driving and testing database<\/a> that stores information on simulations, experiments, and failures. This technology can accelerate the development of autonomous driving while making it safer and less expensive.<\/p>\n<h3>Seamless car sharing experiences<\/h3>\n<p>Owning a car is expensive, but in a couple of years, blockchain self-driving cars could make car ownership in cities a thing of the past. Currently, there are some car sharing and car-hailing services and apps on the market: <a href=\"https:\/\/reachnow.com\/en\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">ReachNow<\/a> from BMW, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.silvercar.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Silvercar<\/a> from Audi, and others like Uber and Lyft. But they\u2019re far from perfect. Some people have reported cars not recognizing the smartphone key and failing to unlock, for instance. Others claim that a car has locked the driver inside when they failed to leave on time.<\/p>\n<p>Blockchain-based identification is safer and faster than smartphone identification. Also, it\u2019s perfect for managing numerous customers and transactions: a blockchain system can autonomously manage all payments based on rental agreements.<\/p>\n<div><a href=\"https:\/\/intellias.com\/how-machine-learning-algorithms-make-self-driving-cars-a-reality\/\" class=\"cta-wrap \">\n                    <div class=\"left-col\">\n                        <p class=\"cta-title\">Find out why machine learning is an integral part of connected and autonomous cars<\/p>\n                        <div class=\"cta-block__content\">\n                            <div class=\"description\"><\/div>\n                        <\/div>\n                    <\/div>\n                     <span class=\"btn-filled\">Read more<\/span>\n\t\t        <\/a><\/div>\n<p>Talking about car sharing, your self-driving car can drive others when you\u2019re not using it.

IOTA\u2019s system for autonomous cars is a distributed ledger, but it\u2019s not a blockchain. Instead of blocks, it\u2019s built on a <a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Directed_acyclic_graph\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">DAG<\/a> (directed acyclic graph). The partners also plan to use IOTA\u2019s ledger for trip planning, booking, and payments within the autonomous vehicle system.
