Overview

Have you ever thought of a decentralized blockchain-based transportation platform which will enable vehicles to discover, communicate and transact with each other. DAV will be the world’s first decentralized infrastructure for next generation of transportation which will be powered by blockchain technology.

As a trending technology blockchain technology has become prominent and dominating technology across all areas such as telecommunication, medical, entertainment, sales and marketing from small level to large level products, tourism and thousand more industries. DAV (Decentralized Autonomous Vehicle) will be dominating approach for the next generation transportation technology.

With the implementation of DAV, it will enable your self-driven car given to rides passengers when you are not using it and let your drone help with deliveries around town. In other hand no matter where you go, let your favorite books, packages or even lunch deliver to your hand instantaneously through a drone. Or become an above transportation service provider and earn DAV token with it. It’s obviously not a concept from a science fiction by Isac Asimov but a unique and innovative concept came from a highly motivated, skillful and dedicated project team at DAV.

Technology

In technical point of view DAV will have major three components of Decentralized discovery, trust-less cooperation tools and communication protocol. It will be an open-source software and hardware powered framework and a free decentralized market space for general public to provide and receive transportation services while earning DAV tokens.

With the implementation of DAV, it will allow autonomous vehicles to discover clients and service providers in a peer-to-peer communication technique and decentralized approach of DAV will not depend on centralized server which will limit the expanding of DAV network. Nodes will be listed to a hash table to provide quick and efficient service for all parties in the DAV network.

In terms of communication protocol, it will provide both parties inside and outside the blockchain. Peers on-blockchain will be communicated with smart contract and off-blockchain communication will be done through peer-to-peer communication.

Not only in communication protocol, smart contract will be provide it’s fascinating capability on trustless cooperation tool for the service between cooperate sellers and buyers. This will enable the communication between multi-parties to fast and efficient service.

Road Map

Project team

DAV is a project enrich with an experienced, skillful and trustworthy members and it plays a vital part of the success of project. Dr. Alan Messer — Automotive Advisor, Dr. Scott Horowitz — Aerospace Advisor, Jay Adelson — Internet infrastructure Advisor, Dr. Greg Colvin — Technology Advisor, Priyanka Khaitan — IoT Advisor, George D.Zamka — Aviation Advisor, Jerome Ferguson — Autonomy Advisor, Eyal Hertzog — Crypto-economics advisor and much more team players with different technical backgrounds are playing to bring the concept reality and ultimately to take the transportation in to next level.
