Blockchain and Autonomous Vehicles: Architecture, Security and Challenges

Abstract

In the smart culture where everything is going intelligently, there is a need to administer the intelligent transport system and improve the traffic congestion, accidents on road accidents, and above all suitable parking allocation. It is to be noted that intelligent vehicles are equipped with the internet that enables all types of communication with the surroundings. Automotive service providers like Uber and Ola are the inspiration behind Blockchain Technology and Autonomous Vehicles. In some countries, they provide automated autonomous vehicles for smooth travel management and are known as linked or connected autonomous vehicles. Although such services are susceptible to attacks like men-in-the-middle attacks, parodying of a global positioning system, DoS attacks, sniffing, and many similar attacks, those are creating hurdles in the development of fully automated vehicles wherein the parallel autonomous industry is growing so fast as self-driving cars. Most of the studies concentrate on a central system with a single point of failure. The paper discussed about blockchain and autonomous vehicles, architecture, security, and challenges.
