The complex nature of transportation and trade networks provide perfect scenarios for blockchain disruption.  Through the use of novel technologies like blockchain, these industries can tackle age old problems, and improve how they manage documents, store data, and mediate the exchange of value. From autonomous vehicles using blockchain as an operational foundation, to streamlining the document-laden processes inherent to customs and trade, blockchain is a tool with revolutionary potential in the transport and trade industries.
