  • Publication number: 20230042500
    Abstract: A vehicle identifier and a nonfungible token (NFT) associated with the vehicle identifier are stored on an electronic ledger. The electronic ledger is a distributed electronic ledger shared between at least a computer and a remote computer. Upon transitioning a vehicle to an on state, the electronic ledger is queried to identify programming instructions associated with the NFT. Upon retrieving the identified programming instructions from the electronic ledger, the vehicle is actuated based on the retrieved programming instructions.

  • Patent number: 11030827
    Abstract: A system includes a processor configured to detect an application initiation request. The processor is further configured to determine whether current vehicle connectivity availability is sufficient to support remote execution of the application. Also, the processor is configured to launch a local version of the application, responsive to determining that current vehicle connectivity is insufficient to support remote execution. The processor is further configured to request that a remote server launch an instance of the application, once current vehicle connectivity is sufficient to support remote execution.
