Toyota is building a prototype city of the future at the base of Mount Fuji in Japan. The 175-acre “Woven City” will be a fully connected ecosystem powered by hydrogen fuel cells and will serve as a home to full-time residents and researchers. The city will explore new technologies like autonomy, robotics, personal mobility, smart homes, and artificial intelligence in a real-world environment. It will include housing for 2,000 people, along with robotics and mobility testing grounds. The city will be fully sustainable, with buildings made mostly of wood to minimize the carbon footprint. Homes will use sensor-based AI to automatically control lighting and temperature. Only fully autonomous, zero-emission vehicles will be allowed on the main streets. Toyota plans to populate the city with employees and their families, retired couples, retailers, scientists, and industry partners.
