Ethereum-Based Blockchain Platform to Revolutionize Package Delivery Business

Aitheon, the Ethereum-based platform that announced its coin presale at the North American Blockchain Conference in Miami earlier this month, is looking to revolutionize the package delivery business with their latest partnership. Aitheon is partnering up with CarSmartt, a unique ride-sharing and package delivery application, to develop, test, and launch a fleet of driverless vehicles. Aitheon will implement the same driverless technology that has been showcased in Miami, backed by the safety and reliability provided by remote “pilots” operating on the Aitheon network.

With Aitheon working on developing and installing the driverless system, Carsmartt plans to purchase and operate a fleet of cars to deliver packages to customers, which will be controlled by the blockchain.  Aitheon plans on building and testing at least 5 of their driverless vehicles in 2018 at the CarSmartt production facility in Nevada. They are currently working on integrating the CarSmartt application into the Aitheon platform, a phase they plan to complete in the next 4 months. The vehicle testing phase is scheduled to commence later in summer this year.

Aitheon will bring in the hardware and software technology through partnerships with Quanergy, the leading provider of solid-state LIDAR sensors and smart sensing solutions and Nvidia Driveworks, a leader in advanced automotive technologies, to operate the driverless vehicles around the clock. The final testing of the vehicles will be done in Italy; Aitheon and CarSmartt expect to produce around 5 to 10 cars per month.

Although the final design remains undisclosed, sources have led us to believe that the final vehicle will be a eco-friendly hybrid, based on a transit or cargo van chassis. The vehicle will have multiple compartments much like PO boxes, which the package recipients will be able to unlock using the application on their smartphones. As always, the Aitheon ‘pilots’ will be on standby to take over if the AI is faced with a problem it cannot resolve. This interaction between robots and humans will not only impact economic growth but it will also create jobs in emerging industries.

In addition to the driverless technology and delivery business, Aitheon plans to make back-end automation technology accessible to small retail, hotel and restaurant businesses. Mining tokens on the Aitheon network is restricted, implying that with a limited supply of AIC tokens the value of the token will be driven up. The tokens are currently being offered on a pre-sale until the 31st of this month at 50% discount.  A 40,000 token buy-in is necessary to get basic access to the platform and use the tools on the network, higher buy-ins of 300,000 tokens gives one access to the platforms robot store. CEO Andrew Archer announced that the platform is already filled up to 25% capacity and sales are expected to increase in the last 2 days of the pre-sale.

The concept of a blockchain – a distributed, tamper-proof and time-stamped database of transactions that can be managed without intermediaries – is highly attractive in the supply chain domain, and the industry has launched a number of proof-of-concept initiatives. However, awareness of how blockchains work and what they can accomplish for supply chain is still relatively low. The lack of knowledge is exacerbated by the fast pace at which the technology is evolving. A success Blockchain Supply Chain Forum was held on October 24th in Shanghai, professional blockchain organizer EventLinker and Global Supply Chain Council will organize the Blockchain Supply Chain Forum on January 10th in Hong Kong, it is the forum connecting blockchain experts, supply chain and logistics decision makers and tech innovators.

Transformation of education in post-industrial society

Education has always been an expensive privilege; and the education sector has always been one of the most conservative. People chose profession once in their life and did not change it until retirement. Usually education meant studying at a university; self-taught people were rare. However, in the post-industrial society changes in the shape, sense and affordability of education finally began. According to Alvin Toffler, a well-known US sociologist, the emergence of the post-industrial society is a consequence of the intellectual revolution. The possession of knowledge and information will replace financial capital as the biggest value. Development of innovations, empowered by the most educated, will become the most important sector of economy. It means that high-quality affordable education will become even more important than now. The last time when the global education experienced a serious transformation was at the very beginning of the 21st century when the wide access to the I

After GDPR effect? In A Post Cookie World, Blockchain Is Rising

Gambar
The European General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) was rolled out in May this year. It introduced far-reaching implications for companies which process personal data related to EU citizens. Even those far outside the EU could not fail to notice this change. Email inboxes were overflowing with opt-out reminders. Cookie banners now obscure many websites, forcing users to agree to a privacy policy so that they can browse the content on the site. Although the GDPR document itself clocks in at 88 pages, the majority of what it covers can be summed up in one word — consent. If companies are processing personal data, it must be done with the explicit, informed consent of the individual. For some forms of marketing, such as email subscriber lists, this involved minimal changes. Individuals already have to take the active step of providing their email addresses, and usually it is pretty clear why they are asked to do so. However, for the digital advertising industry, consent is far less
