History
DAV system is a short form of Decentralized Autonomous Vehicle system.[5] It was founded in January 2017 by Noam Copel (CEO), Tal Ater (CTO), John Frazer and Joseph Lopardo. The foundation released and published its first code on GitHub. It also released its drone delivery application. The company was then granted non-profit organizations status in Switzerland[1].

As of 2018, DAV Networks has Dr. Alan Messer, (former CTO of General Motors), Jerome Ferguson (director of autonomous system at UPS) on its Board of Advisors.[6] Commander Scott Horowitz, a former NASA astronaut is also an advisor.[2]
DAV Technology
The Decentralized Autonomous Vehicle system uses open source software, the blockchain and transportation technologies to create a DAV network.[5] The network provides an autonomous system to deliver different kinds of services to the user [7]. The system has a free decentralized marketplace where a user can buy and sell autonomous transportation services using the DAV tokens.[5]
DAV Decentralized discovery
In the decentralized networks, DAV allows all the autonomous vehicles to discover nearest clients and vehicles and communicate through tokens. This is done by the utilization of decentralized node discovery with the GSM, Radar and laser [7].
Autonomous vehicles services
A company can list its vehicles on the network for hiring purpose.[5] The vehicles can be used to request a ride or deliver and pick up a package,[7] after which DAV tokens are released to the company using Ethereum platform.[1] The payments can be cleared once the service is done.[8]
The supply chain will help the DAV vehicles to navigate themselves to provide service for the nearest available request. For every service, DAV tokens are credited to the service provider.[7][9] Owner can earn DAV tokens through leasing the self-driven or manned car.[1]
