Hi Steemit family!

Imagine that in the not too distant future you can use the blockchaind to make common payments, this would demonstrate the potential that crypto currencies have at the technological level to solve problems in large cities, this is getting closer every day to be something real and soon to become something everyday, today I bring you an IBM project called Car eWallet developed for electric automotive industry. Come with me to know what it's all about.

IBM the same company behind the development of quantum computers is interested in the blockchain for its high reliability, speed and being one of the most important technological advances of the last century and the new millennium, so has managed to develop in conjunction with the manufacturers of intelligent cars ZF Friedrichshafen cars and the investment bank UBS, the central idea is to develop an automated assistant to serve as a payment platform with blockchain technology.

Already there are similar initiatives such as Tesla cars in Dubai can pay tolls automatically with blockchain, the IBM project is framed in the automobile innovations of the Linux foundation, whose code is the Fabric 1.0 Hyperledger Project bone to part will be free software.

To give a case of use, imagine the following, that you have an electric car that is under protocol Fabric 1.0 Hyperledger Project and blockchain, it is time to make a new recharge, drives to the nearest electric point and begins to charge while the car is activated blockchain to leave registered and process the corresponding payment of the fee, so simple the car will pay and the energy point will process the data as valid, this will be possible with parking services, tolls, and even pay the revision of your car.

Other advantages offered by Car e-Wallet is not limited to financial space, you can also control certain mechanical functions automatically, such as open the car doors, or open the trunk, in addition to being recorded the data of the user of the car and the car itself, in the blockchain that is virtually unalterable.

IBM hopes in the future to offer the service to the different companies dedicated to the automotive industry in order to renew the way to make the intelligent payments in service stations, improving the experience of the driver.

Although the project was initially launched by the German car manufacturer ZF Friedrichshafen, IBM would soon take the lead by joining the team and making available a multidisciplinary team of computer technology experts and the German company contribute their valuable knowledge in blockchain so both are studying that more use cases can be given to this technology that promises to completely change payments on cars.

One of the problems that have already presented companies such as Tesla and other manufacturers of electric cars is the counterfeiting of some parts and spare parts, so that within the cases of use promise to register each part of the car to the blockchain to have a control of the vehicle from the assembly plant to the acquisition of the customer.

I find it interesting that every day that passes and a company launches a new proposal of some technology ends up linking to the blockchain, this has undoubtedly given much prestige to the technology of the blockchain placing it as the safest in the world, as it is impossible to alter the data of the blocks. Hopefully the adoption will grow. It was time to show what this technology is made of.
