Federated learning (FL) emerges as a distributed training method in the Internet of Vehicles (IoVs), which promotes connected and automated vehicles (CAVs) to train a global model by exchanging models instead of raw data to protect data privacy. In this paper, consider the limitation of model accuracy and communication overhead in FL, as well as further verification in the real scenarios, we propose a directed acyclic graph (DAG) blockchain-based IoV system that comprises a DAG layer and a CAV layer for model sharing and training, respectively. Furthermore, a DAG blockchain-assisted asynchronous federated mutual learning (DAFML) algorithm is introduced to improve the model accuracy, which utilizes mutual distillation method to train a teacher-student model simultaneously. Moreover, a policy network will first be pre-trained by an expert data augmentation strategy through the DAFML algorithm via the behavior cloning, and be re-trained through the proposed proximal policy optimization (PPO) algorithm based autonomous driving framework. Finally, simulation results demonstrate that the proposed DAFML algorithm outperforms other benchmarks in terms of the model accuracy, distillation ratio and autonomous driving decision.
