  • Japan's Robot City!

    Toyota is developing an ambitious new city-campus designed to integrate living and working spaces into a single, high-tech environment. This futuristic project aims to foster seamless collaboration and innovation by leveraging advanced technologies such as robots, autonomous vehicles, and smart infrastructure. The city is envisioned as a fully integrated community where workers and their families can live and work, creating a unique corporate enclave that blurs the line between home and office. While the project is promoted as a bold vision for the future of urban living and innovation, it also raises critical questions about its implications for work-life balance. Critics wonder whether this "robot city" represents a utopian model of progress or a corporate strategy to keep employees tethered to their jobs around the clock. The development highlights broader debates about the future of cities and the evolving relationship between technology, work, and personal life.

  • Toyota’s new hypercar runs on liquid hydrogen, debuts at Le Mans

    Toyota has unveiled its new hydrogen-powered hypercar, the GR LH2 Racing Concept, at the 24 Hours of Le Mans, signaling a significant advancement in hydrogen combustion technology for motorsport. Building on last year’s GR H2 Concept, the GR LH2 features a hybrid powertrain that combines hydrogen combustion with electric hybrid technology, likely sharing design elements with the successful GR010 Hybrid racecar. The vehicle sports a more aggressive aerodynamic design, including smaller LED headlights, redesigned side intakes, a taller rear wing, and a pronounced fin, while maintaining a similar greenhouse to the GR010. Measuring 5,100 mm long and 2,050 mm wide, the GR LH2 aims to deliver strong track performance and demonstrate hydrogen’s viability in endurance racing. This new hypercar is part of Toyota’s broader “multi-pathway” strategy toward a carbon-neutral future, which includes battery-electric vehicles, hybrids, carbon-neutral fuels, and hydrogen-powered systems. Toyota’s continued investment in hydrogen technology extends beyond
