Toyota?s City of the Future Weaves Autonomous Tech Into Daily Life
Toyota's 175-acre prototype city of the future at the base of Mt Fuji will operate as a living-breathing "city" of autonomous technologies.
It’s par for the course to expect the announcement of new technologies on a personal or even industrial scale at CES, but this might be the first time a company has used the annual technology industry event to reveal a project on a civic scale. Toyota’s Woven City is imagined as a fully connected ecosystem powered by hydrogen fuel cells, an idealized prototype ?city? of the future to build upon a 175-acre site at the base of Mt. Fuji in Japan.
History is littered with utopian projects founded to realize a better life for some or all, but Toyota’s intent is to utilize the Woven City project less as a genuine growing city and more of a self-contained ?living laboratory”, one inhabited by full-time residents and researchers specializing in a myriad of research including autonomy, robotics, personal mobility, smart homes, and artificial intelligence in a real-world environment. ?
Building a complete city from the ground up, even on a small scale like this, is a unique opportunity to develop future technologies, including a digital operating system for the city?s infrastructure. With people, buildings and vehicles all connected and communicating with each other through data and sensors, we will be able to test connected AI technology? in both the virtual and the physical realms ? maximizing its po...
