Connected cars are only useful if they have up-to-date information on road conditions. Therefore, Jaguar Land Rover has launched a new initiative that will encourage you to help other drivers in exchange for cryptocurrency. When reporting traffic jams, potholes, and other annoyances. Get credits to pay for daily driving fees like bridge tolls, parking fees, or a cup of coffee to keep you going on long trips. The system, called the Smart Wallet, is being tested based on Jaguar Land Rover Software Engineering in Shannon, Ireland. Several vehicles have been equipped with technology, which can send the reported data to transport providers or local authorities, who can warn other drivers or remove the asphalt, respectively.
Sharing is like
Not only is the smart wallet a convenient way to earn money while driving (and you don't have to dig through parking meters), it is part of Jaguar Land Rover's Destination Zero strategy, which aims to eliminate emissions, congestion and accidents. The company also hopes that the more our cars connect, the more fun we'll drive. Ultimately, you want your vehicle to become a kind of third place where you can relax and socialize when you are not at home or at work. "In the future, an autonomous car could go to a charging station, recharge and pay, while its owner could choose to participate in the sharing economy and earn rewards by sharing useful data, such as preventing traffic jams for other cars." says Russell Vickers, Jaguar Land Rover software architect.
