Toyota Advances Futuristic Mobility with Smart City and Space Investments

The automaker unveils progress on its Woven City project and a $44 million investment in Japanese rocket startup Interstellar Technologies.

Toyota's Woven City, a prototype smart city near Mount Fuji, has completed its first construction phase, with residents set to move in by fall 2025.
The city will serve as a testing ground for technologies like autonomous vehicles, robotics, and sustainable urban living, eventually housing up to 2,000 residents.
Toyota announced a $44.4 million investment in Interstellar Technologies to support the mass production of rockets for satellite launches and space-based telecommunications.
The partnership with Interstellar aims to leverage Toyota's manufacturing expertise to create scalable rocket production systems, similar to SpaceX's model.
Both initiatives highlight Toyota's shift from being solely an automaker to a broader mobility company, integrating land, air, and space technologies.
