Selective data access and data privacy via blockchain

摘要

Methods and systems for managing access to a data location associated with a vehicle. The method includes detecting, by one or more sensors of the vehicle, vehicle data. The method also includes recording, by an electronic control unit (ECU) of the vehicle, the vehicle data to the data location. The method also includes storing, by a smart contract located on a blockchain, an access state associated with the data location, the access state indicating one or more devices having access to the data location. The method also includes communicating, by the ECU, an instruction to the smart contract to change the access state associated with the data location to grant access to a third-party device or revoke access from the third-party device.
