\nThe aim of this blockchain based platform is enabling new digital services that improve driver safety and convenience. At the same time, the platform will help car manufacturers monetize their data and differentiate their brands.<\/p>\n
The data-monetization platform will enable car manufacturers and other partners to trade data with each other, either to improve digital services for their customers or to monetize vehicle data. However, trading is only feasible upon a driver\u2019s consent. Therefore, the platform will integrate a consent management system and provide an easy to use opt-in and opt-out system for drivers. HPE and Continental take data privacy seriously to be compliant with GDPR and data protection regulations in other countries.
\nBased on blockchain technology, the platform provides data sovereignty, security, transparency, and efficiency to overcome the barriers of sharing vehicle data.<\/p>\n
Several existing digital ecosystems enable data sharing based on a middleman model, where platform owners centrally coordinate the data flows and monetization.<\/p>\n
Applying a complimentary approach, HPE and Continental\u2019s platform leverages a decentralized architecture based on blockchain technologies. Participants, such as car manufacturers, continue storing the data in their own data centers and only share specific data sets upon purchase directly with the buyer. This approach gives data sovereignty to all participants in the ecosystem, while at the same time providing a highly efficient and secure procedure for monetizing vehicle data.<\/p>\n
As part of a strategic partnership between HPE and Continental, the new platform was jointly designed by HPE Pointnext and Continental\u2019s Interior division. HPE and Continental will provide additional services to facilitate data trading and the integration of vehicle data into car manufacturers\u2019 backend systems and services. The platform\u2019s interface capability will enable multiple ecosystems \u2013 both centralized and decentralized \u2013 to interconnect and leverage new ways of data monetization. Furthermore, the platform is compliant with the VDA NEVADA Share & Secure concept which was developed by the German automotive industry to govern the secure transmission and transfer of vehicle generated data to third parties.<\/p>\n
HPE and Continental have already received overwhelmingly positive feedback on the new platform from car manufacturers. \u201cWe are sure that our platform cuts the Gordian knot of data sharing and data privacy,\u201d said Helmut Matschi, Member of the Executive Board, Interior Division, Continental AG. \u201cWe invite car manufacturers globally to join our platform and collaboratively shape this quickly growing ecosystem.\u201d
\n\u201cSharing vehicle data across vendors can solve some of the toughest traffic problems and improve driver experience by leveraging the power of swarm intelligence,\u201d said Phil Davis, President Hybrid IT, Chief Sales Officer, HPE. \u201cTogether with Continental, we provide the key to unlock the value of this data treasure, not by taking control of the data ourselves, but by giving control to the drivers and car manufacturers.\u201d<\/p>\n
