EPCOT Well...in a way, EPCOT finally has been realized...

This article is in MotorTrend, but the result is much larger than simply automotive news. I hate WDI could not realize it first...

Toyota Is Building a City for Driverless Cars—and 2,000 Humans

Once this connected city is up and running, it will be used to test self-driving cars, emerging tech, and more using a live population.

I posted about this in the Imagineer forum (didn't know where was a good place to post it)

I agree, this does sounds a lot like the idea of EPCOT the city, even though it's starting much smaller. They're still separating the transportation, having a testbed of future technology and also inviting other companies and researchers to help out.

This is very exciting to me and I've already submitted my information to be potentially part of it (I'm starting a 3D printing company)

Awesome Chris - good luck with your work. I’m interested to see how it plays out for Toyota and all of us really.

I didn’t search other forums before I posted l...imagineering was probably a better spot. Maybe one of the mods can move or merge this one.

Doesn't need to be moved. This is good stuff.
