Nowadays, the latest technologies can be found not only in healthcare
and space application but also in hybrid supercars. Supercars and
hypercars require high-performance materials with high strength, high
stiffness, and light weight. For higher performance, car engines now
become stronger but smaller and with lower fuel consumption (with
cleaner exhaust). Currently, the automotive industry involves batch
production, but in the near future, personalized and individualized
automobiles with low and limited quantities can be fabricated in smart
factories, which integrate all companies working in the supply chain,
from manufacturing to marketing and services. In this regard, future
automobiles in smart cities become more personalized (single user,
limited version, personal spare parts), safer, and smarter. Blockchain
technology is the key to these future perspectives toward intelligent
automobiles without any risk of safety, accident, security, theft, or
traffic jam. In the current industry, blockchain technology can
explore the interconnection of blockchain with other innovative
technologies and trends, such as the Internet of Things (IoT) and
artificial intelligence (AI), and analyzes the potential to transform
business processes and whole industries if these innovations are
applied jointly. In the case of the manufacturing sector,
manufacturing can provide a high return on investment. It was reported
that $1 of investment in manufacturing can create ~$2.5 of economic
activity. In addition, smart products should be fabricated from smart
materials via the intelligent manufacturing system framework. In smart
production, if the products and machines are integrated, embedded, or
otherwise equipped with smart sensors and devices, the system can
immediately collect the current operating parameters and predict the
product quality and then communicate the optimal parameters to
machines in the production line. For smart city applications, the
global smart cities market size is expected to grow from USD 410.8
billion in 2020 to USD 820.7 billion by 2025 at a compound annual
growth rate (CAGR) of 14.8%. For smart city applications, blockchain
technology can build on decentralization, immutability, and consensus
characteristics. Additionally, intelligent wireless sensor networks
can provide big information to monitor and manage the city’s regular
operations and services, including traffic and transportation systems,
street lighting systems, power plants, water supply networks, waste
management, libraries, hospitals, schools, universities, etc. A
blockchain-based distributed framework can be used for automobiles in
the smart city. This framework can include a novel miner node
selection algorithm for the blockchain-based distributed network
architecture. This book explores how blockchain technology can be used
in the automotive industry from smart manufacturing to the smart city.
