Sounds like you/porsche can allow lock/unlock access via blockchain, using smart contracts. Does this open the door (no pun intended) for governments to deliver subpoenas for getting access to locked cars? Convenience is always at the expense of freedom.

Can’t wait until it costs $30 and takes 45 minutes to unlock my car!

Sorry, but you got it wrong, the real money is in the locking tariff ... ;)
Well as we have seen, there are never bugs in smart contracts.
Cannot wait until a hard fork is required to prevent thieves from opening my car.

Do you think this could be used by rental agencies and car sharing services without having to be managed by Porsche? What about privacy; would it be possible to identify the current occupant of a particular car from inspecting a public ledger?
