The world is moving at an incredible pace, and nowhere is this more evident than on our roads. With over 1.446 billion vehicles in operation, it’s clear that transportation plays a central role in our daily lives.
But as we look to the future,, it’s clear that how we get around is on the cusp of a significant transformation. The advent of autonomous vehicles has the potential to revolutionize how we move from one place to another, making our roads safer and more efficient than ever before. However, these vehicles must be fully connected to their surroundings for this vision to become a reality. While today’s cars are equipped with a wide range of sensors and systems to support smarter, safer driving, they still rely on being connected to the world around them to thrive truly. Without this connection, even the most advanced vehicles will struggle to navigate the complex and ever-changing landscape of the modern world.
As we strive to bring the dream of autonomous driving closer to reality, it’s clear that connectivity is critical. By introducing communication and computation technologies that seamlessly integrate with our cars and the infrastructure we depend on, we can bring a new level of context and situational awareness to the vehicles on our roads.
This is where vehicle-to-everything (V2X) communication comes into play.
V2X technology is driving the future of transportation with groundbreaking capabilities — connecting vehicles, people and infrastructure. It provides real-time information about potential dangers on the roads ahead to enhance safety for everyone — but its capabilities don’t end there! With V2x coupled with edge computing, it enables automated parking options, EV charging services as well as pay-how-you drive insurance programs — all of which are integral steps towards creating autonomous fleets of self-driving cars in our cities.
V2X technology can revolutionize transport, but challenges lie in its path. To maximize its potential, hardware and software must be widely adopted within vehicles and solutions for technical issues like reliable data transmission integrity and authentication. With these hurdles cleared, however, V2X could reshape our roads with safer journeys and greater efficiency bubbling up from beyond the horizon!
But there is hope on the horizon. Soarchain is a novel crypto-economic protocol that addresses these challenges and makes V2X a reality. Soarchain uses a decentralized wireless network of cars, infrastructure, and people to create an efficient way of incentivizing people to crowd-source the rapid deployment of large-scale infrastructure networks. This helps speed up the deployment process and reduces the time and capital required to create these networks.
One of the critical ways Soarchain is overcoming the technical challenges of V2X is through its “Proof of Availability” (PoAv) mechanism.
PoAv ensures that the network contributors make their connectivity and computational resources available in a way that benefits the network, using a set of cryptographic primitives and stochastic models. By making these resources available through PoAv, it is possible to create a network of connected vehicles that can directly communicate with each other, with data authenticity, integrity, confidentiality, continuity, and consistency guaranteed.
Soarchain is working to make V2X a reality by addressing the challenges of critical mass and technical complexity. By creating a decentralized, token-incentivized network of connected vehicles, infrastructure, and people, Soarchain is paving the way for a fully-connected and fully-autonomous transportation system. This will lead to increased road safety, less traffic congestion, and reduced environmental impact.
