Whether it’s in ride-sharing, manufacturing, vehicle tracking, or the emerging electric car industry, blockchain automotive solutions are gaining significant traction. The automotive industry is grappling with a rapidly evolving market environment, which involves a rapid and profound change fuelled by changing consumer technology. Oodles’ seasoned team is familiar with the automotive industry’s most pressing problems and how to solve them with blockchain.
Buzz around Blockchain
Blockchain is a distributed ledger technology that allows multiple participants in a business network to share an immutable record of transactions. In this sense, the word “immutable” means that nobody can edit or delete a transaction record. Indeed, they can only append it. It may be a physical asset, such as a car, a financial asset, such as a loan, or a digital asset, such as a software package. A supplier, a manufacturer, a distributor, a dealer, a finance provider, a regulator, a client, or anything else entirely may be called a “participant” in an Automotive business network.
Blockchain’s Features
The shared ledger is password-protected
Only authenticated parties have access, and permissions can be modified. The advantage is that ledger access can be limited to only those you choose to have access to it. Any permissioned participant receives a copy of the shared ledger, which is repeated and circulated. The advantage is that knowledge is more straightforward.
Transactions are encrypted
Only parties that have received different security certificates can decrypt them. This ensures that only the transaction’s explicit stakeholders have access to transaction data, which are kept safe and unreadable.
Transactions are permanent
Groups of transactions remain in blocks and further after consensus, be visible on the ledger. Each block also contains the previous block’s hash value, forming a non-changeable connected chain of blocks. Any update stored in the transaction record and connected by the chain allows assets to be tracked back to their roots.
The shared ledger is final
business network participants agree that the shared ledger is the single source of truth or System of Record, resulting in fewer conflicts about transaction information differences between parties.
Benefits of a Blockchain-based framework
Increased knowledge openness in the business network will result in:
Minimized dispute settlement costs and time
There are fewer disputes between parties, and the time it takes to resolve contracts is shorter
Participants agree on a standard data format for transactions exchanged on the Blockchain, which decreases messaging complexity
Blockchain would foster increased confidence among business network participants, minimizing uncertainty in the current business environment and allowing participants to re-deploy working capital elsewhere.
