‘Living laboratory’: Japan’s ‘Woven City’ to get 1st residents — Toyota


Toyota's ambitious 'Woven City' is set to receive its first human guinea pig residents later this year, the company reports.

Called the “Woven City,” it has been dubbed a “living laboratory” to experiment with new technologies like hydrogen power, autonomous vehicles, robots, and artificial intelligence (AI). “Building a complete city from the ground up, even on a small scale like this, is a unique opportunity to develop future technologies,” Toyota president Akio Toyoda explained. Under the proposed plans, researchers and businesses from around the world will have the opportunity to work on projects related to personal mobility, driverless technology, artificial intelligence, and robotics.
