Autonomous vehicles (AVs) are on the verge of completely revolutionizing the way we think about the transportation of both goods and people. In order to help usher in this new way of doing things, the DAV foundation has built a network which can not only connect cars to cars or drones to drones, but can link together any and all autonomous vehicles including cars, trucks, rovers, and drones, along with the vital infrastructure needed to make them work. This includes mapping software and services such as charging outlets.

Forbes spoke to John Frazer, an Ethereum Foundation veteran who is now involved as CCO of the Decentralized Autonomous Vehicles Foundation on the topic and he provided a brief overview of this interesting project:

“We acknowledge that reaching full machine autonomy for vehicles will take time. The DAV network also supports discovery, communications, and transactions involving manned vehicles. We recognized at the outset that there will always be a slice of the market that would insist on human supervision and intervention, whether that involved drones, or rovers, or road vehicles or marine vehicles”, Frazer explained.
