DAV – The Internet of Transportation

Introduction to DAV

Internet was not the first attempt of humans to interconnect the world. Many centralized platforms came in before internet did. But what was different about the internet was that it decentralized interconnectivity. Given the right hardware, anyone could set up a website on his own. Blockchain further decentralized and ushered transparency in this system, which is by the second being more and more accepted globally. Decentralized Autonomous Vehicles (DAV) is a decentralized blockchain network of self-driving vehicles and other automated transportation services like drones, car rental services and more. DAV will use blockchain and its decentralization to set up a transparent marketplace for all kind of 'auto sector' services which include automated vehicles as well as the automated drones used for deliveries and surveys.

The transport industry has always strived to make driverless cars and given the technological advancements we have made today, it is not long when we see them running all around us, on regular basis. DAV platform and the DAV token are aimed to facilitate the growth of the new era in the transportation industry and providing an extensive interconnectivity to the users.

More about the DAV platform

For shifting the current transportation industry to a more autonomous industry, a huge interconnected global network must be set up and nothing is better than blockchain to make a truly transparent global platform.

DAV software platform will allow anyone on the network to buy or sell autonomous transportation services in a decentralized marketplace organized by DAV or simply order products and get them delivered to you by automated drones. A recent study shows that once more and more automated vehicles will enter the road, the trend of 'car ownership' now will shift to opting for 'on demand' automated rental vehicles. Elimination of drivers from the roads may mean unemployment to some but to a nation or on a global prospect it means more hands, on progress and lesser on steering wheels.

Problem and its solution

There are innumerable possibilities of autonomous transportation like using drones for product delivery. All the big-shot delivery companies like Amazon, food joints like – Dominos have spent a huge amount of manpower and money trying to create fully automated delivery systems. These delivery systems need a great research to make the products cheap, sturdy and compact for storage. This further means that unless the companies have millions of dollars to spend on research, their systems are soon going to be obsolete.

Narrow economic interests and competition make such companies focus on their own isolated systems, which halts the global progress. With no grounds for collaboration, no established company shares its research with other while the small upcoming companies remain out of the picture.

By open sourcing the DAV platform and decentralizing protocols, DAV can set new collaboration ground for such companies to come together and work collectively on automation systems.

DAV token and token sale:

DAV token provides for the creation of DAV platform. All the transactions on the platform will be made by using DAV tokens and smart contracts generated on the platform. The token is ERC20 Ethereum based so there are rarely any intermediaries and charges are low. This means more profit for you as a service provider and cheap rates as a user or client.

The token is not for sale as of now, but you can sign up for their newsletter at https://dav.network/ and you will be informed of their crowd sale as soon as it is available. This way you can get your hands on the tokens at a cheap price.

USE cases of DAV:

DAV aims to be the 'transport internet' of the future. With all the services involved in the system and consumers, all connected in one place. The consumers can benefit from the global tokenization of transport services and avail services anywhere in the world without having to pay extra costs for currency exchange services.

Benefits to service providers : There can be a lot of services offered on the DAV marketplace like - Vehicle Providers, Infrastructure Providers, Service Providers, Manufacturers, Insurance Providers, Arbitrators, Software / Hardware Developers and much more.

Conclusion

DAV platform is a great idea and initiative to build a decentralized transparent for the future automated vehicles. The platform has an innumerable number of uses for the transport industry and consumers. Transportation is a basic necessity and ever since the first motor vehicles were made, I am sure the researchers have dreamt of creating driverless cars. However, the industry has remained more or less stagnant since motor vehicles came in. Recent advancements in technology have made this dream, a possibility. Companies like Tesla have almost reached completion of their automated vehicles, which are soon to launch in the market. The transportation revolution is just at our doorstep and DAV platform could be just what it needs to be more accessible to general public.
