retrieving a smart contract, related to the motor vehicle data, stored in a blockchain; performing a validation of the motor vehicle data based on validation standards stored in the smart contract; in response to the validation standards not being satisfied, identifying a required corrective action to the motor vehicle; transmitting a request for the corrective action to be performed to one or more registered entities; receiving a confirmation that the corrective action is complete; creating a blockchain transaction comprising the confirmation; and storing the blockchain transaction in the blockchain. ### Claim 2 (depends on 1) The method of claim 1, further comprising: creating a genesis block on the blockchain responsive to an initial motor vehicle event occurrence. ### Claim 3 (depends on 2) The method of claim 2, wherein the initial motor vehicle event is one or more of a change in vehicle operating conditions, as determined by the sensor, which comprises one or more on-board vehicle sensors, and an initial vehicle startup operation. ### Claim 4 (depends on 2) The method of claim 2, further comprising: receiving an updated status from the one or more registered entities regarding a change in status of the motor vehicle. ### Claim 5 (depends on 4) The method of claim 4, wherein the updated status comprises motor vehicle repair data, dates motor vehicle repairs were performed, and certification data associated with the one or more registered entities. ### Claim 6 (depends on 4) The method of claim 4, further comprising: receiving a validation report from a third party agency, responsive to the updated status being received and approved by the third party agency. ### Claim 7 (depends on 6) The method of claim 6, further comprising: storing the validation report in the blockchain. ### Claim 8 A system, comprising: a motor vehicle; a computing entity configured to receive motor vehicle data related to the motor vehicle from a sensor; retrieve a smart contract, related to the motor vehicle data, stored in a blockchain; perform a validation of the motor vehicle data based on validation standards stored in the smart contract; in response to the validation standards not being satisfied, identify a required corrective action to the motor vehicle; and one or more registered entities configured to receive a request for the corrective action to be performed; and wherein the computing entity is configured to receive a confirmation that the corrective action is complete; create a blockchain transaction comprising the confirmation; and store the blockchain transaction in the blockchain. ### Claim 9 (depends on 8) The system of claim 8, wherein the computing entity is further configured to create a genesis block on the blockchain responsive to an initial motor vehicle event occurrence. ### Claim 10 (depends on 9) The system of claim 9, wherein the initial motor vehicle event is one or more of a change in vehicle operating conditions, as determined by the sensor, which comprises one or more on-board vehicle sensors, and an initial vehicle startup operation. ### Claim 11 (depends on 9) The system of claim 9, wherein the computing entity is further configured to receive an updated status from the one or more registered entities with regard to a change in status of the motor vehicle. ### Claim 12 (depends on 11) The system of claim 11, wherein the updated status comprises motor vehicle repair data, dates motor vehicle repairs were performed, and certification data associated with the one or more registered entities. ### Claim 13 (depends on 9) The system of claim 9, wherein the computing entity is further configured to receive a validation report from a third party agency, responsive to the updated status being received and approved by the third party agency. ### Claim 14 (depends on 13) The system of claim 13, wherein the computing entity is further configured to store the validation report in the blockchain. ### Claim 15 A non-transitory computer readable storage medium configured to store instructions that when executed cause a processor to perform: receiving motor vehicle data related to a motor vehicle from a sensor; retrieving a smart contract, related to the motor vehicle data, stored in a blockchain; performing a validation of the motor vehicle data based on validation standards stored in the smart contract; in response to the validation standards not being satisfied, identifying a required corrective action to the motor vehicle; transmitting a request for the corrective action to be performed to one or more registered entities; receiving a confirmation that the corrective action is complete; creating a blockchain transaction comprising the confirmation; and storing the blockchain transaction in the blockchain. ### Claim 16 (depends on 15) The non-transitory computer readable storage medium of claim 15, wherein the processor is further configured to perform: creating a genesis block on the blockchain responsive to an initial motor vehicle event occurrence. ### Claim 17 (depends on 16) The non-transitory computer readable storage medium of claim 16, wherein the initial motor vehicle event is one or more of a change in vehicle operating conditions, as determined by the sensor, which comprises one or more on-board vehicle sensors, and an initial vehicle startup operation. ### Claim 18 (depends on 16) The non-transitory computer readable storage medium of claim 16, wherein the processor is further configured to perform: receiving an updated status from the one or more registered entities regarding a change in status of the motor vehicle. ### Claim 19 (depends on 18) The non-transitory computer readable storage medium of claim 18, wherein the updated status comprises motor vehicle repair data, dates motor vehicle repairs were performed, and certification data associated with the one or more registered entities. ### Claim 20 (depends on 16) The non-transitory computer readable storage medium of claim 16, wherein the processor is further configured to perform: receiving a validation report from a third party agency, responsive to the updated status being received and approved by the third party agency; and storing the validation report in the blockchain.
