Chapter 6 Use Case Two Peer-to-Peer Manufacturer Consumer Automotive
When will Web3 have its first frictionless, peer-to-peer car dealership, truly making the car buying a hassle-free experience? I’ve been struck by how surprised some of the industry’s top technologists, executives, and investors have been over recent advances in the state of the art and its growing accessibility — GPT 1, 2, 3, Dall-E 2, and Stable Diffusion just to name a few.

Rivian Automotive, Inc. is an American electric vehicle manufacturer and automotive technology company founded in 2009.

This would all be great except for one thing, Direct to Consumer Automobile Manufacturing is illegal.
It is true- Most states expressly prohibit manufacturers from selling cars and trucks directly to consumers; others achieve a similar end by requiring that manufacturers that sell any of their vehicles through dealers cannot engage in any form of direct consumer sales.
Who will be the first to provide a platform for small Automobile Manufacturers, without a distribution network, come together to build a platform.
I’m ready to build it, are you?
