The U.S.’ fourth-largest mobile network operator Sprint has partnered with blockchain startup NXM Labs to launch a 5G connected car platform powered by blockchain technology, the companies confirmed June 20.
The partnership furthers blockchain’s entry into the increasingly automated car industry, bringing Smart and NXM alongside extant projects from the likes of IOTA and manufacturers including Mercedes and Volkswagen.
A joint industry initiative, dubbed MOBI, has received participation from BMW, Ford, Bosch Hyperledger and more.
In addition to its core offerings, the platform will offer services such as parking space location and where gas costs the least.
Multiple vehicles will also be able to connect to each other.
