SUSONO, Japan (AP) — Woven City near Mount Fuji is a groundbreaking project by Japanese automaker Toyota, aiming to explore the integration of robotics, artificial intelligence, and autonomous zero-emissions transportation into everyday life. The project, spearheaded by an executive from the automaker's founding family, is not merely a smart city but rather a test course for mobility innovation.
The first phase of construction, covering 47,000 square meters, has been completed, with the final project expected to span an impressive 294,000 square meters. Situated on the site of a former Toyota Motor Corp. auto plant, Woven City is envisioned as a collaborative hub for researchers and startups to exchange ideas and drive technological advancements.
