AS BITCOIN crosses US$100,000, interest in Web3 extends beyond cryptocurrency speculation to innovations such as green cars security. These green vehicles are not only technological marvels but also data generators, pivotal as the global automobile sector evolves towards sustainability. Advanced sensors in these vehicles amass vast data ranging from driving habits to fleet performance indicators, raising concerns about privacy infringements. The adoption of Web3 technologies addresses these concerns by embodying the cypherpunk ethos, ensuring personal data protection while maintaining transparency about data usage. These measures transform the vehicle into a secure, efficient mobile fort, not merely a means of transport.

Vehicles, like mobile smart devices, collect a vast amount of sensitive information. However, most consumers are not yet aware of the potential risks and long-term impacts of privacy breaches, nor are privacy protection features considered as a primary factor when purchasing a vehicle.
