Systems and methods for building, utilizing and/or maintaining an autonomous vehicle-related event distributed ledger or blockchain

A computer system configured to build, utilize, and/or maintain an autonomous vehicle-related event distributed ledger or blockchain, the computer system comprising one or more processors, sensors, and/or transceivers configured to:

• transmit a subscription request associated with a smart contract and pertaining to an autonomous vehicle, wherein transmitting the subscription request causes an electronic device at the autonomous vehicle to:
• determine one or more sensors that generate sensor data relevant to the smart contract, and
• generate one or more autonomous vehicle events based on the generated sensor data;
• detect and/or record, via the one or more processors, sensors, and/or transceivers, the autonomous vehicle-related events;
• compile, via the one or more processors, the one or more autonomous vehicle events into a log of recorded autonomous vehicle-related events;
• determine, via the one or more processors, an action to implement based upon the recorded autonomous vehicle-related events and/or the log of recorded autonomous vehicle events;
• and/or
• distribute, via the one or more processors and/or transceivers, the log of recorded autonomous vehicle-related events and/or the action to implement to a public or private network of distributed nodes to facilitate maintaining an up-to-date shared ledger of autonomous vehicle-related events.

A non-transitory computer readable storage medium storing processor-executable instructions, that, when executed, cause one or more processors to:

• transmit, via one or more processors, a subscription request associated with a smart contract and pertaining to an autonomous vehicle, wherein transmitting the subscription request causes an electronic device at the autonomous vehicle to:
• determine one or more sensors that generate sensor data relevant to the smart contract, and
• generate one or more autonomous vehicle events based on the generated sensor data;
• detect and/or record, via the one or more processors, sensors, and/or transceivers, the autonomous vehicle-related events;
• compile, via the one or more processors, the one or more autonomous vehicle events into a log of recorded autonomous vehicle-related events;
• determine, via the one or more processors, an action to implement based upon the recorded autonomous vehicle-related events and/or the log of recorded autonomous vehicle events;
• and
• distribute, via the one or more processors and/or transceivers, the log of recorded autonomous vehicle-related events and/or the action to implement to a public or private network of distributed nodes to facilitate maintaining an up-to-date shared ledger of autonomous vehicle-related events.
