Bosch a renowned automotive company wants to connect with Ethereum blockchain. A spokesperson of Bosch briefed that the company has started working with the second biggest blockchain Ethereum. So far, the company has not revealed the complete details of the projects they are working on. However, at the annual conference last week, BCW 2019; new project details were unveiled.
Bosch announced electric-car charging ports, with enhanced communication properties so, it is expected that this project will be backed by Ethereum. In 2016, a similar case of Germany’s RWE electricity supplier in collaboration with Ethereum initiated the project to run the charging stations across the country.
Bosch’s website elaborated that Ethereum platform will facilitate the company in terms of autonomous charging, paying EV and alike programs. The spokesperson said that we have evaluated the Ethereum, Hyperledger, and IOTA previously also. IOTA aims to provide greater scalability, fast and cost-effective transactions. But, IOTA is regarded as an opponent of Ethereum and is not a blockchain intrinsically.
The observers said that in BCW 2019, there was no announcement about IOTA and no reported projects were in the pipeline. The main theme of BCW2019 was the establishment of an integrated system where all machines, sensors and WiFi facilitate the vehicles for parking and charging stations by utilizing enhanced smart contracts.
In the globalized world, the things are not physically connected so, smart contracts are required to do business and communication effectively. Bosch is also working on the projects of automated car parking and have made collaborations with other companies. The Ethereum has already performed well in RWE EV trials, Bosh aims to utilize Ethereum and broaden its arena and magnitude of work, and is willing to accept the blockchain open source technology.
