Personally I am curious why no one is exploring the M2M applications of crypto.

If we look forward to the time all (most?) vehicles are autonomous, I can see a need for a ‘market mechanism’ which allows vehicles to request/cede priority.

Driver A wants to get to Point B in a hurry, so has an incentive to request Drivers C and D to allow their vehicle to pass. If Drivers C and D have no rush, they accept the incentive. Crypto (or a similar token), handled by the vehicles, enable this.
