<p>When Bertha bought her new car, it came with its own DID, not just as an alternative
<abbr title="Vehicle Identification Number">VIN</abbr>, but with unique DIDs for every replaceable
component in the vehicle and a secure data storage for keeping track of vehicle use and maintenance.
Even before she purchased it, she was able to verify that, as advertised, every part in the car is
100% made with carbon-neutral processes as certified by various independent agencies.</p>
<p>As the controller of the car's DID, she had automatic control over all of its components' DIDs. During
maintenance, she would choose mechanics that automatically provided digital records of their work,
stored at her direction in the car's data store. When a part needed to be replaced, she'd make sure
the new component's DID is recorded and the old one retired. Similarly, her car automatically tracked
fuel purchases and saved telemetry reports to storage, where it was kept securely under her control.</p>
<p>She found an insurance company that was able to automatically offer her a discount after passing a certification
of good maintenance and good driving. When she later put her car up for sale, she was able to prove her

giving the new owner a working, and contiguous record of the vehicle.</p>

<p>The vehicle itself has its own identifier too. This would allow that particular vehicle to be a reference for the components

over the identifier without dependency on any central agency allowing the maintenance record(s) to transition smoothly throughout
