The present disclosure relates to a method performed by a distributed subscription-handling system (1) for supporting subscription-based activation of ADS features in a vehicle. The distributed subscription-handling system identifies (1001) at one or more ADS-equipped vehicles (2) connected via a peer-to-peer blockchain network (3) further comprising at least a first service provider node (4) dedicated to an ADS feature provider, data indicative of one or more subscription options (5) comprising indication of various ADS feature sets available for activation and indication of respective corresponding required ADS-related vehicle configuration, defined in at least a first blockchain-stored smart contract (6) deployed by the at least first service provider node (4); generates (1002) at a first vehicle (20) of the one or more vehicles, based on selecting one of the subscription options, a subscription request transaction (7) to be sent to the smart contract in which the selected subscription option (51) is defined, which subscription request transaction comprises data indicative of the selected subscription option and further vehicle identity - and/or status of ADS-related vehicle configuration - of the first vehicle; adds (1003) with support from the selection-related smart contract the subscription request transaction to a blockchain of said network, when consensus of the subscription request transaction is reached on the network; and enables (1004) at the first vehicle, based on identifying that the blockchain has been updated with the subscription request transaction, activation of at least a first ADS feature (210) corresponding to the ADS feature set of the selected subscription option.The disclosure also relates to a distributed subscription-handling system in accordance with the foregoing, at least a first node - for instance a network-connected ADS-equipped vehicle and/or a network-connected non-vehicle node - comprising such a distributed subscription-handling system, and a respective corresponding computer program product and non-volatile computer readable storage medium.
