After three years of intense collaboration, innovation, and field testing, the moveID project—part of the Gaia‑X 4 Future Mobility initiative—has made significant strides toward redefining how mobility ecosystems work. At its core, moveID aimed to create a decentralized, user-centric infrastructure where vehicles, infrastructure, and service providers interact seamlessly using Self-sovereign Identity (SSI) and AI agents.

Building the Foundation for Trusted Machine Communication

Working alongside industry leaders such as Bosch, Airbus, Continental, and leading Web3 projects, we contributed to building the technical and conceptual foundation for trusted machine-to-machine communication in the mobility sector. This included the secure exchange of credentials, decentralized data marketplaces, and AI-powered autonomous service interactions—all compliant with European data and privacy standards.

Demonstrating Real-World Impact: MOBIX Park & Charge

A standout achievement was the development and public demonstration of MOBIX Park & Charge, a fully operational system enabling electric vehicles (EV) to autonomously find parking spots, access charging stations, and handle payments. First showcased at IAA Mobility 2023, the system integrated SSI, blockchain-based payments, and AI agents in a live, real-world environment.

Scaling Toward Smart Cities

Beyond the demo, MOBIX has evolved into a scalable smart-city solution. By turning private EV chargers and parking spots into publicly accessible assets, we’re addressing key challenges in urban congestion and infrastructure scalability, while opening up new economic opportunities for individuals and municipalities.

Where Web3 Meets AI

The project also served as a powerful example of the convergence between AI and Web3. By combining intelligent agents with decentralized infrastructure, we demonstrated how machines can not only interact but also negotiate, transact, and self-optimize—laying the groundwork for more ethical and transparent digital ecosystems.

A Foundation for the Future

In sum, moveID wasn’t just about mobility. It showcased how decentralized identity, autonomous agents, and AI can reshape how devices, services, and users interact—not just in cities, but across industries. As the project concludes, its outcomes provide a strong foundation for future applications in smart infrastructure, data sovereignty, and the broader digital economy.
