Abstract
A system includes a computer including a processor and a memory. The memory stores instructions executable by the processor to store an electronic ledger that specifies an authorized operation for an entity to perform for a vehicle, receive a request, including an entity identifier for an entity making the request, to perform a requested operation, query the electronic ledger to determine that the requested operation is the authorized operation, and actuate the vehicle based on the authorized operation. The electronic ledger is a distributed electronic ledger shared between at least the vehicle and the entity.
