Toyota introduced its vision of the future of mobility at CES 2025
The Japanese automotive giant announced in a statement that the brand has completed the first phase of Toyota Woven City, which was shown as the city of the future at CES 2025, and plans to invest in space and rocket technologies.
Toyota, which announced its transformation into a mobility company at CES 2018 and introduced the Woven City concept at CES 2020, will officially open the first phase of this city, whose foundations were laid in Japan in 2021, in autumn this year.
Designing Woven City, where researchers from around the world will participate, as a “living laboratory and a constantly evolving project”, Toyota will enable the development and testing of technologies such as autonomous technologies, robots, personal mobility, smart homes and artificial intelligence.
The first phase of Woven City is equipped with environmentally friendly and human-oriented design to improve people’s quality of life. Data from this phase will contribute to the development of plans for the second and subsequent phases.
After the official opening, 100 residents, including Toyota and Woven by Toyota staff and their families, will live in Woven City. The community will gradually expand to include different researchers and their families.
Phase one is planned to accommodate approximately 360 residents. In the second phase and beyond, the total population is expected to reach approximately 2 thousand people.
