The Keys to Connected Car Happiness

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.

Trustless mobility data streaming with P2P and Blockchain technologies

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.

Embedding Blockchain for Automotive applications

Roland Strube

Transport Group Platform

Roland’s background is in chemical engineering, specialising in combustion science and pollution control. He currently works in passenger transport to increase the efficiency of asset use.

Peer to Peer Mobility as a Service

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.

Peter Busch

Robert Bosch Group

Peter works for Mobility Strategy of the Bosch Group on connectivity strategies for the Mobility Business Units as Global Product Owner Distributed Ledger Technologies.

He has 35+ years of experience in several IT roles and holds a university degree in Business Informatics and worked for his own SW Startup, JP Morgan, Sun Microsystems and the Robert Bosch Group.

His interests are all IoT-, AI- and agent technologies, leads a 20+ million publicly funded Decentralization project for the future highly connected traffic and is Co-Founder and Chair of the Fetch.AI Foundation.

Trust as the Key Concept in Future Mobility

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.
