Edition- Online
Date- 28 February, 2019
Continental and Hewlett Packard Enterprise have launched a new platform, expected to be available in 2019, for sharing vehicle data to enable new digital services that improve driver safety and convenience.The platform will also help car manufacturers monetise their data and differentiate their brands. Based on blockchain technology, the platform provides data sovereignty, security, transparency, and efficiency to overcome the barriers of sharing vehicle data.
Enterprises across different industries have understood that they need to find ways to break down data silos and enable multiple parties to work together to extract the full value from their data. In the case of connected and autonomous vehicles, data sharing across automotive brands is key to providing driver-assistance services that help drivers avoid traffic hazards and find the most convenient, practical and efficient travel routes – for example real-time traffic warnings and locating available parking.
Applying a complementary approach, HPE and Continental’s platform leverages a decentralised architecture based on blockchain technologies. Participants, such as car manufacturers, continue storing the data in their own data centers and only share specific data sets upon purchase directly with the buyer. This approach gives data sovereignty to all participants in the ecosystem, while at the same time providing a highly efficient and secure procedure for monetizing vehicle data.

Adoption rate by then was the same 1% that Bitcoin has managed in the same 10yrs. At present growth, the next 10yrs will see very similar adoption.”
