Do you remember Woven City? Akio Toyoda returned to CES 2025 with a powerful update about this groundbreaking project. Let me remind you—this is the concept of a future city that’s environmentally friendly and human-centered, designed to enhance people’s overall quality of life. It will also serve as a testing ground for the latest technologies.

First and foremost, Phase 1 of the construction has been completed, and the first 100 residents will move in this fall. Phase 1 is set to accommodate 360 people, with the final plan envisioning 2,000 residents living in Woven City.

During his inspiring and humorous speech at CES, Akio Toyoda highlighted just a few of the technologies that will be part of Woven City—autonomous taxis, both on the ground and in the air through the partnership with Joby, clothing-folding robots, racing wheelchairs for people with disabilities, and even pet robots. And this is just the beginning—the community itself will be the heart of this project.

This initiative also showcases the importance of collaboration and exploring new possibilities. Several well-known brands, such as Daikin, are already involved in the project, with discussions ongoing with others. Woven City is a testament to Toyota’s vision for the future of mobility, a vision the company has been steadily implementing for years. I’m genuinely excited to hear more updates about this project—this is something unprecedented in my lifetime, and if Toyota is behind it, we can be sure it will be spectacular 😁
