DAV Network; the Future of Decentralized Transportation

toluene (47)in #blockchain • 6 years ago

Transportation can be referred to as the movement of humans, goods, and things from one location to another through various means. The birth of transportation can be traced back to the need for ancient men to move from one place to another. They used different means (like horses, donkeys, wheeled carts, riverboats, etc) to transport themselves, animals, goods and loads around. As time passes, we began to advance more and new discoveries were made, and as these discoveries and inventions were applied to the transport problems, the travel time decreased and the ability to transport more and larger loads increased.

Transportation like every other industry has to a large extent been influenced by technological advancement. Improvements in technology have allowed men to further explore the world and stamp his influence over different territories. The most thriving of these developments is a man making his mark on the moon, which shows our far we have gone. But this isn't the end of it all, as technology is improving daily and new discoveries are made. And the development of autonomous cars, ships aircraft and drones shows how bright the future of the transportation is. It can only get better.

The lingering question is what is the catalyst that will drive us to the future of transportation?

The Blockchain is gaining popularity worldwide daily due to its ability to provide solutions to the most complex form of problem in any industry. Blockchain has created efficiency and innovation in many industries (like e-commerce, data, internet, gaming etc) and the transportation industry is about to be taken by surprise. DAV Network is the anticipated future of the transportation industry.

Introducing DAV Network

DAV (Decentralized Autonomous Vehicles) is a decentralized transportation platform. It is a network that provides a platform where actors in the transportation industry can communicate, interact and transact with humans. It is the future of the transportation industry, as it looks to innovate and revolutionize the whole industry. Unlike most projects that look to tackle/compete with existing centralized companies, DAV Network is innovating it industry by providing existing transportation companies a chance in the future of transportation.

Recent technology has shown that it is possible for vehicles, ships, aircraft, and drones to drive themselves, but it isn't yet as common as the normal cars, trucks, and ships that are available everywhere. DAV Network is looking to create a world where autonomous vehicles/ self-driving cars can be used to carry out daily activities and reduce transportation hurdles faced by people.

The applications of DAV Network are as follow

Service providers can benefit from the platform by providing services for the autonomous vehicle and earn tokens. They can provide services like charging spot, maintenance, spare-part, etc. E.g. if a vehicle needs to be charged, the DAV smart contract will locate the nearest charging spot and direct the vehicle there. The service provider will charge the vehicle and earn DAV tokens
People can go anywhere or send/receive anything in minutes. This is similar to the services provided by uber. Instead of going through the stress of boarding a taxi, people can easily rent transport on the DAV platform, pay with DAV tokens and go anywhere they want to. Similar this applies to when sending things or goods to friends/customers. You can rent drones to have them delivered to the location you want.
Owners of autonomous cars, ships and drones can also earn DAV tokens by renting their cars out for transport on the platform.

It is important to note that the communication, interaction, and transaction on the DAV platform are guided by smart contracts, which eliminate the human factors ( favoritism, inefficiency) in the course of transacting. Also, the system is completely decentralized, which means nobody (not even the government) has control or influence over it.
