Toyota Wants 2,000 People To Live In Its City For ‘Inventors’Toyota’s Woven City, located at the base of Mount Fuji, aims to develop everything from AI to space rockets. And it’s taking applications.
No car company wants to be simply a “car company” anymore. The future—however far-off that may be—is about advanced software, electrification, automated driving systems, flying vehicles, personal mobility devices and more. Nowhere is that more apparent than CES, where promises are big but expectations for reality should be tempered.
But Toyota says it’s making good on one of its biggest promises ever, made at CES five years ago today: the automaker says it has completed the first phase of its $10.13 billion Woven City project and it will launch a scholarship program for startups and individuals seeking to build out their most ambitious ideas there.
