IOTA promotes the adoption of cryptocurrencies
On the other hand, it is necessary to highlight the efforts that the IOTA Foundation and the research team have been making to cooperate with industries that can give practical use to the tangle. One of the most important cooperations is with Jaguar Lands Rover to take the automotive industry to the next level.
First, they’re developing a smart car wallet. With this tool incorporated into the vehicle they will be able to make connections between units, share information, pay parking bills and connect to the local network to improve energy consumption in the city.
In addition, they have a partnership with EDAG to develop a CityBot. It would be an autonomous vehicle that uses fuel cell propulsion to move in a climate-friendly manner and aims to show how fully autonomous driving could work in cities in the future. The special feature of the CityBot is that it never stops and is designed to use urban resources efficiently.
