OneLedger - Tracking Car parts from Manufacturer to Consumer

We live in a world where everything can be dismantled very easily. This is especially true for the used car sales sector, where before you purchase a used car, there is a very high possibility that the car has changed hands many times. The more it changes hands, the more is the possibility of having some of the parts duplicated. This presents us with a need to create a decentralized trustless platform where the original manufacturer of the car can upload the information about the parts of the car, and an end-user can verify this information anytime in the life of a car.

• Develop a plan to streamline automated truck platooning across the Gordie Howe International Bridge with a focus on boosting efficiency and cross-border trade.
