Vehicles are connected to external data centres such as the weather, traffic and location. The innovation of connected cars enables automobiles to initiate and sustain communications from IoT devices. Connected cars and blockchain technology are intertwined as they both represent the automotive of the future.

Blockchain systems are inherently secure due to its decentralised ledger. Once data is entered into a blockchain system, it’s virtually impossible for that data to be tampered with without a private key authentication. This level of security is vital in the next generation of connected cars, as an increase in connectivity to IoT devices means an increase in the data being shared and stored in vehicles.
