Abstract

An example operation may include one or more of receiving motor vehicle data related to a motor vehicle from a sensor, retrieving a smart contract, related to the motor vehicle data, stored in a blockchain, performing a validation of the motor vehicle data based on validation standards stored in the smart contract, in response to the validation standards not being satisfied, identifying a required corrective action to the motor vehicle, transmitting a request for the corrective action to be performed to one or more registered entities, receiving a confirmation that the corrective action is complete, creating a blockchain transaction including the confirmation, and storing the blockchain transaction in the blockchain.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1. A method, comprising:
receiving motor vehicle data related to a motor vehicle from a sensor;
retrieving a smart contract, related to the motor vehicle data, stored in a blockchain;
performing a validation of the motor vehicle data based on validation standards stored in the smart contract;
in response to the validation standards not being satisfied, identifying a required corrective action to the motor vehicle;
transmitting, to one or more registered entities, a request for the corrective action to be performed by the one or more registered entities;
receiving a confirmation that the corrective action is complete;
creating a blockchain transaction comprising the confirmation; and
storing the blockchain transaction in the blockchain.

2. The method of claim 1 , further comprising:
creating a block on the blockchain responsive to a motor vehicle event occurrence.

3. The method of claim 2 , wherein the motor vehicle event comprises a change in vehicle operating parameters, as determined by the sensor, which comprises one or more on-board vehicle sensors, and an initial vehicle startup operation.

4. The method of claim 2 , further comprising:
receiving an updated status from the one or more registered entities regarding a change in status of the motor vehicle.

5. The method of claim 4 , wherein the updated status comprises motor vehicle repair data, dates motor vehicle repairs were performed, and certification data.

6. The method of claim 4 , further comprising:
receiving a validation report from a third party agency, responsive to the updated status being received and approved by the third party agency.

7. The method of claim 6 , further comprising:
storing the validation report in the blockchain.

8. A system, comprising:
a processor configured to
receive motor vehicle data related to a motor vehicle from a sensor;
retrieve a smart contract, related to the motor vehicle data, stored in a blockchain;
perform a validation of the motor vehicle data based on validation standards stored in the smart contract;
in response to the validation standards not being satisfied, identify a required corrective action to the motor vehicle; and
transmit, to one or more registered entities, a request for the corrective action to be performed by the one or more registered entities,
wherein the processor is further configured to receive a confirmation that the corrective action is complete, create a blockchain transaction comprising the confirmation, and store the blockchain transaction in the blockchain.

9. The system of claim 8 , wherein the processor is further configured to create a block on the blockchain responsive to a motor vehicle event occurrence.

10. The system of claim 9 , wherein the motor vehicle event comprises a change in vehicle operating parameters, as determined by the sensor, which comprises one or more on-board vehicle sensors, and an initial vehicle startup operation.

11. The system of claim 9 , wherein the processor is further configured to receive an updated status from the one or more registered entities with regard to a change in status of the motor vehicle.

12. The system of claim 11 , wherein the updated status comprises motor vehicle repair data, dates motor vehicle repairs were performed, and certification data.

13. The system of claim 9 , wherein the processor is further configured to receive a validation report from a third party agency, responsive to the updated status being received and approved by the third party agency.

14. The system of claim 13 , wherein the processor is further configured to store the validation report in the blockchain.

15. A non-transitory computer readable storage medium configured to store instructions that when executed cause a processor to perform:
receiving motor vehicle data related to a motor vehicle from a sensor;
retrieving a smart contract, related to the motor vehicle data, stored in a blockchain;
performing a validation of the motor vehicle data based on validation standards stored in the smart contract;
in response to the validation standards not being satisfied, identifying a required corrective action to the motor vehicle;
transmitting, to one or more registered entities, a request for the corrective action to be performed by the one or more registered entities;
receiving a confirmation that the corrective action is complete;
creating a blockchain transaction comprising the confirmation; and
storing the blockchain transaction in the blockchain.

16. The non-transitory computer readable storage medium of claim 15 , wherein the processor is further configured to perform:
creating a block on the blockchain responsive to a motor vehicle event occurrence.

17. The non-transitory computer readable storage medium of claim 16 , wherein the motor vehicle event comprises a change in vehicle operating parameters, as determined by the sensor, which comprises one or more on-board vehicle sensors, and an initial vehicle startup operation.

18. The non-transitory computer readable storage medium of claim 16 , wherein the processor is further configured to perform:
receiving an updated status from the one or more registered entities regarding a change in status of the motor vehicle.

19. The non-transitory computer readable storage medium of claim 18 , wherein the updated status comprises motor vehicle repair data, dates motor vehicle repairs were performed, and certification data.

20. The non-transitory computer readable storage medium of claim 16 , wherein the processor is further configured to perform:
receiving a validation report from a third party agency, responsive to the updated status being received and approved by the third party agency; and
storing the validation report in the blockchain.
