Autonomes Fahren: Warum man IOTA kennen sollte!

Heute mal ein etwas technischerer Artikel, aber extrem spannend! Was hat IOTA mit autonomen Fahren, Connectivity und zukünftigen Geschäftsmodellen zu tun? Hört, was Johann Jungwirth von Volkswagen dazu sagt.

IOTA is a Distributed Ledger Technology that delivers many of the same benefits associated with blockchain technologies, such as a shared identity and network-based trust. It creates an immutable ledger of data that is stored across a distributed network. It enables peer-to-peer asset transfer and monetary exchange without central intermediaries.

However, IOTA is not based on a blockchain with its associated scalability challenges, energy consumption and transaction fees. The IOTA tangle is a Directed Acyclic Graph (DAG) to create a distributed ledger that scales and has no transaction fees. Lightweight clients and the IOTA tangle’s off-line capabilities make it a perfect fit for the Internet of Things (IoT). By enabling trusted connectivity and micro-transactions, IOTA uniquely enables the Internet of Things (IoT) and the emerging Machine-to-Machine (M2M) economy.
