Japan-based car manufacturing company Toyota Motor Corporation has revealed its plans to develop a smart city.
Toyota President Akio Toyoda called its prototype city of the future the “Woven City.” Like current smart city projects, the Woven City would have a fully connected ecosystem that’s powered by hydrogen fuel cells.
“Building a complete city from the ground up, even on a small scale like this, is a unique opportunity to develop future technologies, including a digital operating system for the city’s infrastructure,” Toyoda said.
In a press release, Toyota said that it’s open to collaboration with other commercial and academics partners.
“We welcome all those inspired to improve the way we live in the future, to take advantage of this unique research ecosystem, and join us in our quest to create an ever-better way of life and mobility for all,” Toyoda added.
