Jaguar Land Rover is testing a new service for connected cars: the platform will allow drivers to earn cryptocurrency and use it to pay for various services.
The system is based on the so-called “smart wallet”. To accumulate cryptocurrency, motorists will need to agree to the automatic transmission of information received while driving. This could be data on the condition of the road surface, potholes, etc.
The information collected may be shared with local authorities or navigation service providers. In exchange for this information, drivers will receive cryptocurrency.
In the future, digital money can be used to pay for parking, travel on toll roads, recharging electric vehicles, etc.
We would like to add that the development of technologies for connected cars is one of the priority areas for Jaguar Land Rover. Such systems will improve road safety and traffic comfort, as well as provide motorists and passengers with qualitatively new services.
