A Comprehensive and Secure Trustless Blockchain Framework for Autonomous Vehicles

As Autonomous Vehicles (AVs) become increasingly prevalent, there is a growing need for secure and efficient data transfer between vehicles and other stakeholders in the transportation ecosystem. Blockchain technology has emerged as a promising solution to this challenge, offering a decentralized and tamper-resistant platform for storing and sharing data. This research study proposes a blockchain-based solution for addressing the challenges related to data security, ownership, trust, transparency, and auditability in AVs. It covers the use of blockchain for vehicle identity verification, secure data sharing, and real-time communication between AVs and other entities such as infrastructure and insurance providers. The proposed solution incorporates smart contracts, Merkle trees, and cloud storage to provide a trustless environment for data transfer and ensure that data is tamper-proof and auditable. The paper also provides a detailed implementation of the proposed solution. The findings of this research study provides a comprehensive overview of the state-of-the-art AVs and blockchain technology, highlighting the potential of this emerging field to transform the transportation industry.
