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.
