Toyota launched Woven City in Susono, Shizuoka, last September. Currently, a total of 24 companies, organisations, and others from inside and outside the Toyota group are taking part in a wide range of demonstration experiments, such as testing automated vehicle driving and robot delivery services.
According to Woven by Toyota Inc., a Toyota subsidiary that operates Woven City, research efforts also focus on the use of artificial intelligence, such as AI-based systems that analyse drivers’ health conditions and assist with driving.
“AI understands the town’s situation and proactively provides support,” said Daisuke Toyoda, senior vice president of Woven by Toyota.
