Your next car just might run on crypto. In a new partnership announced early today, Hewlett-Packard Enterprises has teamed up with Streamr, a Switzerland-based crypto startup, to create an integrated smart car platform which shares data with other vehicles over the blockchain.
The product of the partnership will be on display at New York’s Consensus 2018, an annual event for blockchain technology and cryptocurrencies taking place next week. According to their press release, visitors to the Streamr pavilion will be able to see data “flowing” through a 3D Audi Q2 chassis.
The interface, designed by HP, will collect real-time data from the car’s communications “bus”, which collects hundreds of data points from the car’s sensors. That data, including fuel consumption, location, acceleration and gearing, can then be sent straight to the Streamr platform.
Hewlett-Packard is already active in the world of blockchain enterprises, having launched “blockchain as a service” to enterprise-level clients last year. “Mission Critical,” the company’s Distributed Ledger technology, is used to track and collate data produced by everything from banks to cars and jets.
“The idea of having one common, synchronized, shared view of truth is of enormous use in finance and government, in supply chain, in food,” says Ian Brooks, HPE’s head of innovation in Europe, in a webpage maintained by HPE’s blockchain lab.
“We see Blockchain use cases evolving into what we call Blockchain 3.0: the intersection of Blockchain, IoT, big data, AI and the Intelligent Edge,” said Raphael Davison, Worldwide Director for Blockchain at Hewlett Packard Enterprise. “Our partnership with companies like Streamr helps us bring this future closer to a reality.”
