Blockchain has become something of an enabler allowing new business ideas and technologies to build on it to advance the revolutionary technology and idea that blockchain technology already is, autonomous vehicles is a very upcoming and heavily researched field which would make driverless vehicles more mainstream for practical on road commercial and daily usage. Autonomous vehicles to be used for transports, deliveries and for individuals or a business are what DAV are planning to bring to the market.

**THE AUTONOMOUS VEHICLE ECONOMY PERKS**

Increasing number of autonomous vehicles would drive a change and help in bringing forth a passenger economy where instead of promoting ownerships of vehicles, using mobility as a service, increasing these commercial activities would generate revenue as services will emerge to support the sector.

Costs of operation and setting up autonomous vehicles for service has gone down by a significant amount, driven by boiling competition causing improved quality and reliability to gain an edge over their competitiors. Drones have seen the most growth in this sector with their ability to be controlled by the user's smartphones has allowed them to use these drones for their work purposes, cost of the lidar system used in driverless cars has gone by upto 90% making autonomous driver taxis very cheap and more accessible for the average cab user.

**AUTONOMOUS VEHICLE NEEDS, HOW MUCH CAN WE BE DEPENDENT ON THEM IN THE FUTURE**

 A lot of the firms all over the world are using wheeled drones for what they're referring to as the 'last mile' delivery where trucks can arrive in a neighbourhood and for individual deliveries drones can be deployed for the last phase of completion of the delivery. All these strategies help the companies to reimagine a whole range of transportation, ride-hailing, public transportation and logistics.

**THE PROBLEMS OF THE AUTONOMOUS VEHICLE MARKET AND WHAT SOLUTIONS DAV PROPOSES**

Large corporations and conglomerates are making great strides in the department of incorporating drones in their delivery and logistics systems, driverless taxis, many issues need to be addressed like the reliability, the perception that people have before they accept the services. Also these vehicles require additional infrastructure for maintenance and docking.

**WHY IS THIS SECTOR SEEING SUCH A RAPID RATE OF GROWTH AND INNOVATION**

The network technology has been open sourced which means the technology to all these automated vehicle operations is available for free to anybody who wants to build on the already available software. The outcome of open sourcing is that more and more participants can get access to the pace and direction of innovation. All these innovative applications would allow automated vehicle services to scale and evolve.

**HOW THE DAV FUNCTIONS AND ITS TECHNICAL PROWESSES**

**DAV** is a developer centric platform that creates APIs and creates SDKs for poupular development platforms. A stack of open source software with a developed UI for enabliong an autonomous and fast scaling system for transportation because of the varied and so many inputs from different parts of world with different utilities and expectations from the open source software.

The components of a decentralized autonomous vehicle setup or DAV, for it to act as a truly decentralized system,

-Identity - each user will have a unique identity to authenticate themselves to the other network participants.
- Discovery – finding out other users in a decentralized way, using the environment alogn with building a support structure around.
- Communication- decentralized communication allows contact to be made for exchange or connection of services through the common communication protocol.
- DAV token is the mode through which DAv will ensure secure payments for providing services in the DAV network

DAV has plans of establishing a successful ecosystem for the growth of internet of transportation and giving the network a kickstart, with the help of incentivizing early adopters to increases the umber of people recogninzing the feasibility of the DAV, aiming to design select cities to be DAV cities with friendly regulations for autonomous vehicles. Financial incentives from local EDOs.

**IS DAV THE RIGHT NETWORK FOR TAKING AUTONOMOUS VEHICLE MARKET TO THE NEXT LEVEL**

 The P2P network is the most secure way of making exchanges of any commodity, be it information or value. Remocal of middle men that cost overhead charges will be removed, blockchain ensures this for their payments method and the DAV network will be crucial in providing a network to the autonomous vehicle community for seamless sharing of physical objects. The plan to convert cities into DAV cities where special accommodations for adopters of the technology.
