Toyota’s city of the future takes shape
After three years of construction, Toyota has completed the first section of its city of the future, called Woven City, in Japan. Over time, around 2,000 residents will move into the city, including researchers, Toyota employees and retirees, as company boss Akio Toyoda said on the sidelines of the CES technology trade fair in Las Vegas.

The idea behind it is to create a place where technologies of the future can be tried out in everyday life. This includes, for example, robots for the elderly and small drones with lanterns that can accompany you when you go jogging. Toyota's autonomous shuttles will be used for transportation.
Toyota also emphasized that the company is also interested in rocket technology. "Because the future of mobility should not just be reduced to Earth - or a single car company," he said with an obvious dig at tech billionaire Elon Musk, who runs electric car market leader Tesla and aerospace company SpaceX, among others. Toyota's first step was to invest in the Japanese rocket company Interstellar Technologies.
