DriveDeal.io – driven by smart community
About DriveDeal
DriveDeal is a blockchain tech project developing a platform for asset and service sharing in the field of mobility and transportation. From day one, we were building a new kind of organization that connects people from all around the world fully embracing the idea of decentralization.
We are a multinational team striving for our vision to become reality by combining our individual expertise and valuable experience from different industries in order to build the platform that serves its community in the best way.
STATUS QUO
Nowadays most mobility providers address isolated target groups. They provide service based on expected demand trying to anticipate what their customers will want.
Existing mobility applications only address a limited target group with their service. For example, taxi services do not offer their vehicles for carsharing and vice versa. In this way most vehicles remain unused for 95% of the time which is a wasteful treatment of resources. A true sharing community should function peer2peer, where no intermediaries are required and services provided by any available resource can be used on demand. Unfortunately most business transactions require someone to take care of security, trust and payments, because most consumers and providers do not trust each other. Until now there has been no way to bypass the need for a centralized authority
SOLUTION FOR SHARED MOBILITY
All mobility providers address the whole community. They provide services based on market demand and tailor solutions to satisfy customers’ true needs.
With the invention of the blockchain and cryptocurrencies however, it is now possible to make binding agreements directly and share assets without someone controlling the market. DriveDeal will be the first platform for these interactions and will provide the required infrastructure and technology to enable decentralized peer2peer sharing. Every application built on top of DriveDeal will combine all possible mobility sharing use cases and make the market supply be decided by the customers. Participants will be able to provide cars for sharing, rent vehicles from others, develop applications or offer mobility-related services for everyone in the community. This not only will help to utilize unused resources, but also will make transportation more efficient and less expensive.
APPROACH
Only customers and service providers together can design the network they really need. In an environment of mutual trust and the right incentives a fruitful and productive sharing community will emerge.
On unregulated markets a different solution for incentivizing business partners to follow the rules and fulfill agreements must exist. This is assured by so called smart contracts – independent parts of programming code on the blockchain, which are not corruptible. This guarantees once deals are made they must be upheld. One of these smart contracts is the token contract, which is the backbone of the DriveDeal platform. The DriveDeal token creates a currency on the network used for interactions of all kinds. In comparison to today’s money it can be used for many different purposes at the same time. The DriveDeal Token not only provides a payment function, but for instance will also help network participants to reach a consensus on solutions or to perform voting. The DriveDeal token is fully integrated in the act of exchange and influences how decisions are made. Altogether, smart contracts set the right incentives and allow agreements to be made without the need to trust a counterparty or supervise interactions.
VALUE PROPOSITION
On one single decentralized platform, hybrid use cases improve mobility services. Providers react quickly to mobility-on-demand requests in order to offer a suitable supply. Existing resources are used flexibly and more efficiently.
The current carsharing market is characterized by lack of innovation and higher prices. Traditional companies feel comfortable providing their services in a profit-maximizing way, without striving for improvement, if not necessarily required. They do not have publicly accessible algorithms, therefore trust in their integrity and honesty is necessary. Moreover they only provide one dimensional solutions that do not utilize their vehicle stock fully. The DriveDeal platform aims to solve all these issues by leveraging a decentralized architecture. Mobility applications will benefit from sharing the same data layer and open source solutions will provide transparency. In that way applications will become hybrid and merge the sharing use cases to one demand driven solution. The participants of the network will benefit from cheaper transportation services, the guarantee their data is not going to be misused, the possibility to generate revenue with their assets, the option to decrease total cost of ownership and having the right to engage in the creation of the network.
Use Cases
P2P Car Sharing
P2P car sharing is the most effective way to leverage the efficiency of car ownership and reduce the individual total cost of ownership
Ride Hailing
As all resources can be made accessible for every platform participant, ride hailing services can be offered by anyone
Car Pooling
Instead of driving around four empty seats, car pooling offers inexpensive transportation for users and an additional revenue stream for providers of a ride
Delivery Services
A vast potential for transportation of goods lies within the routes covered by millions of car users every moment
Data Control
As a key property of the platform, every user regains the control over his data. If preferred he can then monetize this data or use it for optimization applications
Yet uncovered Applications
The possibilities in the transportation and mobility sector are endless. Everyone is invited to deploy own services and applications on top of the DriveDeal platform
DRIVEDEAL PLATFORM
Multi Smart Contract
All applications will by developed using individually designed smart contracts on the ethereum network
Javascript Library
Ethereum and IPFS network interaction is abstracted away using a Javascript library
Vehicle integration
The platforms enables the creation of a digital twin for every mobility asset, connecting it to the decentralized world
TOKEN FUNCTIONS
Monetary Function
Store of Value, Consistent Medium of Exchange, Unit of Account
Incentivization
Guidance, Encouragement, Transparency & Display of Intent, Confirmation & Truthfulness
Control & Oversight
Governance, Decision & Voting, Security, Compliance, Consensus & Resolvement of Conflict
DRIVEDEAL COMMUNITY
Developers
In order to maximize the utility of the platform, developers are invited to contribute ideas and help to let the platform grow. Token rewards for contributions will be given.
Individuals
As a consumer as well as provider of services individuals will benefit from the platform capabilities most, which is also an added value for the public good.
Companies & Institutions
Already existing or newly established service providers will be represented on the platform as an important part of a holistic ecosystem.
DRIVEDEAL ROADMAP
We envision a world, where mobility is a public and not a scarce and limited good. Where sustainability and welfare are maximized instead of profit.
The DriveDeal platform will facilitate the adoption of all possible sharing and mobility related services by a universal protocol. A single vehicle will be able to fulfill multiple functions simultaneously. Being a P2P-sharing car it can also be used for ridesharing, carpooling and delivery services when in demand or being privately used whenever needed.
