2 . Japanese automaker Toyota has announced its “Woven City” plan, which aims to create a “smart city of the future". It will be a “living laboratory” for technologies including self-driving systems, high-speed internet connectivity to link major information and communication systems.
The main streets in Woven City will be divided for different purposes. One part will be used for faster vehicle traffic. Another will be designed for people riding bicycles. The third part will be used for walking. To move people through the city, only fully-autonomous, zero emission Toyota vehicles will be allowed on the roads. In and throughout Woven City, Toyota e-Palettes will be used for transportation and deliveries.
The city will be fully sustainable(可持续的)，with buildings made mostly of wood to cut carbon footprint to the minimum. The rooftops will be covered with solar panels to produce power in addition to power produced by H2 fuel cells. Houses will be equipped with the latest AI technologies, such as in-home robotics to assist with daily work and to check people' s health, Both neighborhood parks and a large central park for recreation and social gatherings are designed to bring the people together.
Toyota plans to populate the city with Toyota Motor Corporation employees and their families, visiting scientists and industry partners. The plan is for 2, 000 people to start, adding more as the ;project develops.
“Building a complete city from scratch, even in a small size like this, is a unique chance to develop future technologies. With people, buildings and vehicles all connected and communicating with each other through sensors, we will be able to test connected AI technology in both the virtual(虚拟的) and the physical areas to maximize its potential,” said Akio Toyoda，president of Toyota Motor Corporation.
Experts say smart cities, like Toyota's“Woven City”，will greatly improve our living conditions.
