A method performed by a distributed subscription-handling system for supporting subscription-based activation of Automated Driving System (ADS) features in a vehicle. Arrangements that support a process where complexity and/or the transaction cost of ADS feature subscription handling may be limited. There is identified at one or more ADS-equipped vehicles connected via a peer-to-peer blockchain network having at least a first service provider node dedicated to an ADS feature provider, data indicative of one or more subscription options comprising indication of various ADS feature sets available for activation and indication of respective corresponding required ADS-related vehicle configuration are defined in at least a first blockchain-stored smart contract deployed by the at least first service provider node.

Subscription-based activation of ads features

A distributed verification system for supporting verification of ADS features within specific ODDs. The distributed verification system identifies at one or more ADS-equipped vehicles, a respective at least first verification instruction pertinent an at least first specified ODD of a specified ADS feature; collects at at least a first vehicle, verification data from execution by the at least first vehicle of the at least first ADS verification instruction while the specified ADS feature is active; generates at the at least first vehicle, a verification result transaction to be added to a distributed ledger of a block chain network, which verification result transaction includes verification information derived from the verification data along with information of circumstances and/or configuration of the at least first vehicle; and when consensus of the verification result transaction is reached on the network, adds the verification result transaction to the distributed ledger.
