Systems and methods for vehicle configuration verification with failsafe code

A computer-implemented method for remote verification of a vehicle software configuration stored within a vehicle, using one or more processors, said method comprising:

• executing a smart contract code segment including a failsafe code segment, wherein the smart contract code segment, when executed by the one or more processors, facilitates:
• determining that a current configuration hash value associated with the vehicle is invalid based on a stored configuration hash value included in a trusted data block;
• generating an authentication response including the failsafe code segment, the authentication response is configured to cause a vehicle computing system associated with the vehicle to execute the failsafe code segment;
• and
• transmitting the authentication response to the vehicle computing system, thereby causing the vehicle computing system to execute the failsafe code segment.

A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium having computer-executable instructions embodied thereon, wherein when executed by a computing device including at least one processor coupled to a memory device, the computer-executable instructions cause the computing device to:

• execute a smart contract code segment including a failsafe code segment, wherein the smart contract code segment, when executed by the processor, causes the processor to:
• determine that a current configuration hash value associated with a vehicle is invalid based on a stored configuration hash value included in a trusted data block;
• generate an authentication response including the failsafe code segment, the authentication response is configured to cause a vehicle computing system associated with the vehicle to execute the failsafe code segment;
• and
• transmit the authentication response to the vehicle computing system, thereby causing the vehicle computing system to execute the failsafe code segment.
