Blockchain-based Information Sharing between Smart Vehicles for Safe Driving

Abstract

Smart vehicles determine and take various actions with state information with little or no human intervention. More information can be gathered when they can connect to and communicate with other vehicles and their environments, improving safe self-driving. This paper proposes a blockchain-based information sharing that verifies the shared data and the sharing process using a public blockchain, Ethereum. To protect the privacy of the shared information, cryptography and secure protocols are additionally applied to the blockchain technology.
