DECENTRALIZED AUTONOMOUS VEHICLES AS A SOLUTION FOR TRANSPORTATION
Core to our everyday business is transportation. Its importance is well known with improvements being made on transportation periodically. The importance of transportation can be seen in developing countries where transport-based infrastructure is given top priority. Developing nations cannot grow without good transport. It would be futile to have the best in other facilities but not have the means to get there. For the developed nations and some developing countries, infrastructure is already there, the challenge usually comes in the form of congestion which leads to inconveniences. More transport options are being researched with companies like the Boring company headed by techpreneur Elon Musk, leading in development of alternative ways of transportation such as the Hyperloop and the SpaceX program. These however seem to be plans for a later future. What is viable now and what can be achieved maybe in the next 5 or 10 years is on autonomous vehicles, more so, decentralized autonomous vehicles, thanks to blockchain technology. Ready technology
Autonomous vehicles are already here with us. In some states in the United States, usage of these vehicles is not uncommon. Self-driving Ubers and other autonomous vehicles from different companies are being tested out to see how they can best serve the transport sector. Drones are the other technology that automation is focusing on. Drones could be essential in deliveries and this is in fact where most research, development and testing is being done. This coupled up with the internet of things makes autonomous vehicles the reliable solution for both the near future and beyond. Decentralized autonomous vehicles is a blockchain based company that is leading the world in a transport revolution using available technology such as blockchain and autonomous vehicles to solve the transport issues that have been there and even emerging transport needs that have risen due to the technological lifestyle that we lead, the economy and increasing population. Meeting transportation needs of the world
Autonomous vehicles are becoming increasing popular especially with large corporation that are always in need of transport services like Amazon and Dominos. They are pushing the development of autonomous vehicles in order to meet the demands that the market has created. The problem with their development is centralizing the services required by autonomous vehicles. These vehicles need charging stations, they need docking stations when they are inactive, maintenance needs to be done and other needs that may not be offered traditionally by most vehicle specialists.
DAV is creating a platform which will meet all these needs under on roof. Their application, according to their plan, will include industry players such as autonomous vehicle manufactures, autonomous vehicle service providers and users of these services. DAV hopes that their platform will be the go to place for any needs that autonomous vehicles have. DAV will act as the link between service providers and those in need of autonomous vehicle services. It would also lead to opening up of new economic activities that support autonomous vehicle services. Entrepreneurs could open up docking station and charging stations in anticipation of the market that is to come.
Businesses and individual will find DAV highly convenient. With the research going on, we will soon be having fully autonomous vehicles that can meet our transport demands. What DAV envisions is a platform where users can order autonomous vehicles for their daily transportation needs operating just like any other taxi service application. They can be used for both individuals and groups depending on the needs of the user. The use of autonomous vehicles as a daily transport service will work to reduce the congestion that is on our roads by eliminating the daily congestion that is usually caused by human error. Autonomous vehicles also promise for a better driving experience as they follow the instruction fed into them while also studying maps and understanding the various signs placed on roads. Users can be sure of safer rides with autonomous vehicles.
DAV may also prove vital to the economy by saving on costs that would have otherwise been used to purchase, maintain and replace cars. It would also reduce the market burden that is being created by leasing cars where a lot of second hand cars end up filling the market with no ready buyers.
On drones, places like Dubai are taking them to the next level by working on drones that can offer taxi services to passengers. This could be an easier and cheaper way of beating traffic compared to the use of helicopters. Drone services are however now ripe for delivery of products. Amazon has been working on drone deliveries with the success rate being encouraging. Very soon drone deliveries are going to be a popular thing.
DAV’s important addition DAV brings blockchain into the autonomous vehicle service and its quite an important feature. Decentralization is key for autonomous vehicles to run without any hindrances that arise from centralized systems such as a system failure which could cause the crippling of an entire autonomous vehicle network. Blockchain also provides the necessary security against hackers and cyber attacks that may target autonomous vehicles. Since they will be connected to a network, having blockchain is important to prevent any trespass into the network. Blockchain also adds transparency when it comes to payment being made for the services received. This will be done through the DAV tokens which would also act as incentives to users to provide services that will keep the platform running efficiently. Conclusion DAV is setting itself up for service provision in the near future. They are already ahead of any competition as no decentralized autonomous vehicle service has come up yet. They have their token sale running till 25th of June where they hope to attract investors to support the development of their platform. DAV is one to watch for the future of transportation. Links
