Ride-sharing services like Uber, Lyft, etc. has created a major impact on the minds of the commuters. Can you guess what is that? No? People have started to think mobility as a service. Yes. Instead of owning a vehicle and spending money for its maintenance, commuters have started using these rides sharing services as their primary mode of communication. When you can think of mobility as a service, you can get a lot of benefits as given below:
Reduces stress – In most of the countries, driving a car during the peak hours is hectic as you are sharing the road with a lot of people resulting in more travel time. Bad traffic on the roads will increase your stress level and may decrease your productivity.
Free time – As you are not driving the car, you can use that spare to do other important tasks related to your work or home.
No maintenance – If you own a car, then you need to take it to the service station every few months or so. Also, you need to pay the monthly or annual insurance for your car. Based on your geographic location, you may need to pay taxes on your car. But, all these expenses can be avoided if you are using the ride-sharing services.
The above points are applicable for those people who don’t wish to own a car. What about the car owners? Do ride-sharing services offer any kind of benefits to them? Yes. Of course. Let’s assume that you are riding daily in the car to your office by 9 am and you will be starting the journey back to home around 5 pm. So, your car will be standing idle in the parking lot for 8 hours (9 am to 5 pm). Why don’t you think of an option to earn revenue from your car by renting it out? The existing ride-sharing services like Uber or Lyft will not be feasible as they are based on a centralized system which does not provide much flexibility to the car owners.
How to overcome the above limitation? An innovative transportation protocol based on blockchain technology named DAV(Decentralized Autonomous Vehicles) will provide a platform for connecting any kind of self-driving vehicle like car, truck, drone, etc. to everyone on the network. People who own these vehicles can easily earn a passive income for renting them out. All the transactions will be automated and taken care of the blockchain based smart contracts. Sounds interesting?

Not only, you can use the vehicles for the commute but also for delivering packages. Let’s imagine that you need to send a secure package urgently to one of your friends, but you don’t have the time to do that in person. No worries. Using the DAV platform, you can request the car and use it to deliver the package to your friend. But, you need to hold DAV tokens to request any kind of service as they are the only mode of payment in DAV platform. DAV tokens will be sold by the company during their token sale event.
