Yesterday the Mobility Open Blockchain Initiative (MOBI) unveiled its latest set of standards for mobility data sharing. The starting point was to address issues such as how cars could share data to prevent a crash and how someone could use a single app and payment for a daily commute that might use several modes of transport.
MOBI’s Connected Mobility Data Marketplace (CMDM) Working Group led by Denso and GM produced a set of standards to enable a marketplace for mobility data that ensures user privacy. In turn, that could enable new business models. What blockchain adds is the provenance of the data and hopefully removing a centralized honeypot of data that can be hacked.
