I’m just another movie fan, so don’t panic if you’ll randomly find some links to movies or quotes in my articles! :) Precisely because I’m a movie fan, I have to ask you this: did you notice how real some Sci-Fi movies of the 20th century look today? You may even think that people back then were really able to take a look into the future. Or maybe today’s engineers took their inspiration from older works? One thing’s for sure: [“where we’re going, we don’t need roads!”]( https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=874ZbBlO87w). :) Just as the previous generations did, we’re building the future, day by day. We can make it or break it. This means that our decisions must be the best ones, in order for us not to break it. And I don’t know too many aspects of this future of ours, that could be more important than this simple word: **autonomous**. It’s one of the key words for the way technology will look like some years from now. In this article, I will focus on a specific project of the crypto-sphere, a project that aims to automate a vital sector of our lives: **the transportation system**. It’s going to be all about [DAV Network]( https://dav.network/), as you might have already guessed! ;) ![dav 0.jpg](https://cdn.steemitimages.com/DQmcqDqXGF5MBFzGUUzLagwyUe8FDa3pb71pw74FRLhYFHk/dav%200.jpg) **DISCLAIMER: This is NOT financial advice!** What’s this project all about, after all? What’s **the main idea** behind it? In just a few words, DAV Network aims to create “the coin of transportation”, by deploying a blockchain-based transportation protocol, that will enable a decentralized, peer to peer and global transportation network. Why is this so vital? Because this is how the future will look like in several years from now: the transportation network will become completely autonomous, so it is critical for the humankind to create and shape it the right way, so that it will serve all our needs properly, without leading to any potential downsides while doing so. If we fail, then [Houston, we have a problem](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lTSVOnhLtCs)! There are already some projects (even in the crypto-sphere) that try to use the blockchain technology for rethinking the transportation system. For example, you can check my [review on MVL]( https://medium.com/@mihairusu08/why-mvl-is-or-should-be-your-friend-a7f56b2af488). What differentiates DAV Network from other projects, though, is the fact that it tries to envision and create the technology of tomorrow, rather than change the already deployed one. So what’s the difference? It’s actually pretty simple: the blockchain technology could improve today’s transportation system by allowing the sharing of vehicles and related services, as well as decentralized manned deliveries. DAV Network doesn’t plan to offer only this, but much more: the technology of tomorrow. This includes autonomous drone deliveries, autonomous carriers and autonomous ride sharing. For more detailed information on how they will do it, I strongly recommend you to check their [whitepaper]( https://dav.network/whitepaper.pdf)! I don’t think we have enough space here to talk about why the transportation system will become autonomous. It’s just the natural way of evolution for this sector. It will simply better serve our needs this way. I would rather ask if people already have what it takes to create this type of system. The answer is: with the right team, you definitely can! DAV Network managed to put together **a team of skilled professionals**, which will lay the foundation of what could become the very protocol of the transportation network of the future. ![DAV 1.JPG](https://cdn.steemitimages.com/DQmZgD92ZX13qvu1QxjX3zmNDoaGMYjKXhBQ5JLAVBxYJAm/DAV%201.JPG) As you may already know, the team, no matter how good it is, really needs some highly-skilled advisors, who have the ability to make sure the development has the right direction and can bring valuable knowledge of the sectors the project aims to disrupt. In DAV Network’s case, I honestly admit that we are talking about **one of the best advisory boards** I have seen in a long time in the crypto-sphere, including specialists associated with technological giants, such as: GM, Cisco, NASA, UPS, IBM, Ethereum, SAP or Ford. ![dav 3.JPG](https://cdn.steemitimages.com/DQmf7ufnwb1XYEDGEV5Eq7stt7bVcvKE1jjTXGeA1zy1gfN/dav%203.JPG) ![dav 4.JPG](https://cdn.steemitimages.com/DQmTmsMssYRuCVuyRaXykVUJVdTTX6i67pGtAbcWTcQoMQC/dav%204.JPG) ![dav 5.JPG](https://cdn.steemitimages.com/DQmZjzLv8DWtxrX4paChk3iQqC8Kn8mL9pkPZRZ9oZpixpo/dav%205.JPG) ![dav 6.JPG](https://cdn.steemitimages.com/DQmfJ6HvbpwWE4pAaGSfiTi9UZdKPx3sFmWnQ3xGQu1xyGF/dav%206.JPG) What does all of this prove? For me, it seems like DAV Network really takes its mission seriously, as it put together a strong team and a significant number of advisors (if compared to other ICOs in the crypto-sphere). This project is not messing around and, given the big plans it has for the future, you bet it really doesn’t have time for anything else, but hard work. For achieving its target, DAV Network [has developed an extensive number of partnerships and joined some technology-focused alliances](https://alliance.dav.network/), as you may see below. ![dav 7.JPG](https://cdn.steemitimages.com/DQmSRQBMnNk2LEsEUK2h51z4HwrjfQZzYktQfNU3PqetZia/dav%207.JPG) The **roadmap is pretty ambitious** as well. If you ask me, considering the comprehensive approach it has and the huge amount of technical details that need to be tackled, analyzed and properly designed/deployed, 2019 is an excellent milestone for having everything done! ![dav roadmap.JPG](https://cdn.steemitimages.com/DQmbNmr4s9rtt8gv3mfMgiKtUMACaV46G9WXxSsE1yrAPfw/dav%20roadmap.JPG) I am here for the technology, but I know that at least some of you are interested in the **token metrics** of the projects I talk about, so I’ll briefly present you [DAV Network’s token sale details](https://dav.network/token-sale-details.html) as well: ![dav token sale.JPG](https://cdn.steemitimages.com/DQmTixZHHEFYycZs59aBshWQ1d7Fb2bvEqTaLDazcgXvTw9/dav%20token%20sale.JPG) A detail that could be vital for the people who still try to decide if they want to participate to the token sale is the fact that **DAV will be classified as a Utility Token by the Swiss regulator**! It may be important to also mention here that the **public sale will start on June 11th, at 1 PM GMT(UTC)+0**. The **Hard Cap is 63,123 ETH**, which isn’t too high, considering the costs of developing the network we’ll most probably all use in the future. **Token sale is restricted to people from US and China.** What excites me about DAV Network is that we are talking about an infrastructure that is still in its creation phase, so it can still be tweaked and improved, before it will be physically deployed on a worldwide scale. This means that we still have the chance to create a better future, by doing it in a decentralized manner. This way, we can make sure that we don’t break it. Moreover, we’ll properly lay the foundation of something not only vital (as this is how the transportation system is for our society), but also expensive and game-changing (if done the right way), so we’ll better treat it as if we only have one try. I don’t think there’s another team that could approach the matter more responsibly than DAV Network, so let’s watch them doing it the right way! In the end, don’t forget: [“where we’re going, we don’t need roads!”]( https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=874ZbBlO87w). DAV Network should be enough! ;)
