[Abstract]The natures of decentralization,transparency and trust of blockchain technology bring an oppor⁃tunity to solve the current problems in automotive industry: user privacy leakage, and poor service, opacity and ir⁃regularity in maintenance etc. The key to the application of blockchain in automotive field lies in the construction and fusion of vehicle ID and user credit system, and creating vehicle ID and completely recording the key informa⁃tion of the vehicle in its manufacturing and operation process will promote the normalization of the traditional auto⁃motive industrial chain, establish a reliable quality control system and optimized inventory dynamic management system for vehicle enterprises, and provide better services in repair, maintenance and used vehicle trading for us⁃ers. By linking the vehicle ID and personal credit system in blockchain system, the original car sharing procedure can be reformed. In the future, the blockchain, as an underlying technology, combining with peripheral technolo⁃gies such as internet of things and big data will achieve the safe interconnection of different intelligent equipment, and continuously enhance the processing capacity of blockchain technology to accelerate its application to autono⁃mous driving and smart transportation.
