Automobile industry is inarguably a fast paced sector thriving on our variable taste in comfort, luxury, style and the thrill for adrenaline rush. Our taste so far, as become a massive multi billion dollar market for the industry to cater towards. Car companies churn out resilient cars with sleek finishes and mouth dropping interior every year. But above all, it's usually the underlying technology of a car that improves it desirability and places it way ahead of the others. This reason fuels stiff competition within the industry, propelling car makers to seek and incorporate the latest trendy technology for more mass appeal.
In recent times, Honda introduced a backup camera on passenger side mirror for displaying live videos, sparing our neck the routine strain each time we try to see what's behind. Now, if Honda has your back covered, Ford partnership with Amazon in the Alexa integration will see Amazon deliveries delivered to your car truck even when you are not home. This is just to mention but a few as more car brands are now designed with IoT, machine learning and Artificial intelligence to improve their edge. The bigger picture it seems is the autonomous dream of perfecting self driving cars. But while on the journey towards autonomous cars, most effort oils down to improving traffic safety and eliminating road accidents.
Next stop, Blockchain.
Since the emergence of Blockchain technology, major industries have shown interest and even integrate it into their services. Automobile companies including Toyota, porsche, and Jaguar have also joined in. Recently Jaguar Land Rover made headlines when it announced its partnership with IOTA, a cryptocurrency company. It was to revamp how drivers view their vehicles by making them passively earn cryptocurrency. The new feature also boasts of an in-car smart wallet for storing crypto deposits. Drivers and other users are allowed to share useful information regarding traffic conditions or other issues by using the cryptocurrency.
The bigger picture
With Blockchain technology, services incorporated within any car system will be robust and offer more advantage to the owner. Blockchain will inevitably enable a host of applications for in-car services, such as data sharing and peer-to-peer exchanges which may include parking or electric vehicle charging. Whilst all transaction are secured on the blockchain.
The only problem it seems is; our car will begin to carry more information about us and our home and this could probably turn our car into a gateway to our data. This can trigger a floodgate for malware and malicious activities, and if blockchain immutability, tamperproof and decentralized attributes sounds like a sturdy solution, wait until Quantum computers breaks the Internet.
What is Quantum computers
These computers are super fast unlike classic computers, they defy the laws of physics with their unique ability of subatomic particles to exist in more than one state. Quantum computers use of qubits over bits, unlike classical computers allows simultaneous performance.
Quantum computers are not yet available in mainstream, however some companies are already in pursuit of securing their services with the supercomputers. Automotive giant, Ford, announced its move to partner with institutions who already have quantum-computing systems. One of such, is NASA's Quantum Artificial Intelligence Laboratory (QuAIL). It is highly predictable that Quantum computers will become the new rave for creating super posh and super fast automobiles.
The Q in our security
The future is dynamic and can be surprisingly bigger than our imagination. Maybe we don't have flying cars gracing the skylines or autonomous cars on our streets yet, but we can choose to be part of a safe future by joining Quantum1net. The Quantum Safe solution enables users to secure their smart homes and smart cars with its utility cryptocurrency, Q-coin . All you need is a Q and your security worries will be zero.
