A Blockchain-based Payment and Validity Check System for Vehicle Services

Self-driving cars rely on several services to operate, some of which require financial interactions, such as paying for parking spaces or paying for battery charging in the case of the electric vehicles. Providing these services demands the cooperation of several parties and organizations that do not necessarily trust each other. Over the past few years, several blockchain-based services have been introduced to enable users with a safe and secure medium for conducting business in a trustless environment. In this work, we propose a blockchain-based solution to enable vehicles to consume and pay for services.
