The quality of partnerships and collaborations for different projects empowers the adoption factor crucial to the success of a blockchain ecosystem. AVAX has recently collaborated wtih Togg to empower the future of smart mobility.
For clarity, TOGG, or Turkey’s Automobile Joint Venture Group Inc. (Turkish: Türkiye’nin Otomobili Girişim Grubu A.Ş.) is a Turkish automotive company founded as a joint venture in 2018. Anadolu Group, BMC Turkey, Kök Group, Turkcell and Zorlu Holding are major stakeholders under the umbrella institution TOBB.
Emin Gun Sirer Shared: I am incredibly excited that avalabsofficial is collaborating with Togg2022 to empower the future of smart mobility with Avalanche at its core.
Why I believe Togg will break through and deliver on its bold vision?
First, let’s note that this isn’t the 2016-18 style blockchain announcement of working with an innovation lab to build a proof-of-concept. This is a fully-fledged mission toward production technology.
Autonomous, smart vehicles have been a cornerstone of future fantasies since at least the age of the Jetsons and KITT from Knight Rider. They’ve steadily moved toward this vision, but the focus has been on the commoditized pieces of these machines like batteries and engines.
Think back to the early days of smartphones. Did Apple focus on battery life or the operating system that defined user experience? Did its engineers want to create the longest-lasting phone battery, or did they re-invent what we understood phones to be?
Innovation in the 21st century has always been driven by software. Overhaul what is possible by introducing new software, and then optimize the hardware over time as you learn more about user behavior, wants, and needs.
Togg is embracing this fundamental truth of our time with its vision for smart mobility of the future. Note, it’s smart mobility, not smart cars.
Mobility, like any technology, comes in a wide range of flavors and formats purpose-built for a specific task.
Mobility, like the crypto segment of technology, will also be defined by the community. We will share public goods that are more robust than their predecessors, with an interconnected economy enabling each member to pay for exactly how much they use.
Togg’s technology will enable each method of transport to be connected. Book a car to travel across the state, the parking spot to charge it, and a scooter for a ride to your final destination. Payment for each leg will be automatically facilitated by smart contracts on Avalanche.
This work will be a big leap forward in the adoption of blockchain, with crypto embedded in the core functionality of these apps, rather than a simple alternative to fiat. Each vehicle will act as a wallet, capable of interacting with the network, storing its records, & more.
It will also showcase how far ahead Avalanche is over its peers in its ability to service new use cases that extend beyond EVM-compatible Defi and create efficient, eco-friendly networks of value.
In 2011, Marc Andreessen famously wrote that software was eating the world. avalancheavax is now showing that its flexible subnet architecture is an enabler not just for decentralized finance, but for everything involving value.
Community Response: Don’t think Avalanche is the only one stepping into this sector, there is a great project that has been already making huge partnerships with giant companies: FET with its powerful agent-based framework promises to play a massive role here.
Avalanche is an innovative blockchain L1 with a team of quite bright minds. Togg was founded by the Turkish industrial corps which many of its shareholders are close to Erdogan who had initiated this EV project with its advisors. He is everything but innovative, forward-thinking ++.
Although I am happy for Ava Labs and Togg engineers who work relentlessly, only time will tell how this collaboration evolves into actual results.
