Hosted by our conference chair, Joe Ratheram.

The Internet and consequently the Internet of Things were built without a trust layer. Decentralized Digital Identities and other Web3 technologies may be one of the needed missing components to implement real data sovereignty and a trusted Economy of Things in future IoT (and consequently in Metaverse) scenarios. This will be showcased with some actual use cases from the mobility industry where Bosch plays a leading role.

In the evolving landscape of mobility, the need for real-time, trustless data communication is paramount. By leveraging P2P and blockchain technologies, we can ensure seamless and secure data streaming from the source with a data stack that is owned by, and working for its drivers.

Roland introduces P2P MaaS to address a fundamental barrier in the modal shift from private cars to sustainable alternatives: ‘New transport services currently have to coexist with the private cars of target users.’ The approach described is part of a shared, circular economy, enabling manufacturers, operators and end users to form small Decentralised Autonomous Organisations, Transport Groups, to manage the development and use of new services. A decentralised approach overcomes complexity and lack of knowledge, supply and demand is established online before changes are made on the ground, capital and operational costs are covered using variable pay-per-use rates, and carbon offsetting provides new revenue streams. P2P MaaS uses the future savings from owning fewer cars to develop alternatives that make it possible to own fewer cars.

Connected Cars - and by extension - mobility applications - seem incredibly exciting, but the digital products that exist fail to delight. As our lives are increasingly digital, why is it that our connected mobility experiences seem so lackluster? We need to use open systems to reimagine what a developer and consumer relationship can be in the context of mobility and through this relationship, drive consumer happiness.

As the automotive industry undergoes a transformative shift towards electrification, connectivity, and automation, blockchain technology emerges as a pivotal player in enhancing transparency, security, and efficiency. This panel will explore the future perspectives of blockchain applications within the automotive sector.
