BMW and Web3
This is not BMW’s first foray into Web3. In 2021, it unveiled JOYTOPIA, an entire virtual world built from scratch for people to explore during IAA Mobility 2021. In June, it unveiled The BMW iX1 Metaverse, a virtual environment where visitors could explore the new BMW iX1 inside three surreal dreams.
Thousands of BMW product engineers, lean manufacturing experts, planners and facility managers team up in the metaverse for tasks such as planning, designing, engineering and optimizing the manufacturing process.
Since the company is known for its world-class vehicles, seeing its metaverse and NFT journey would be interesting for Web3 enthusiasts.
Other automakers on Web3
Porsche recently unveiled its NFT project, which will allow users to influence the final design of their own artwork.
Nissan launched its first NFT in October for use in the polygon-based racing game Torque Drift 2 Motorsport.
In February, Alfa Romeo unveiled its new Tonale SUV, which will come with a digital NFT certificate that can be used as proof of the vehicle’s overall condition.
