Toyota to show off automated driving at Tokyo 2020

Toyota Concept 1
The 2020 Olympic Games in Tokyo will be used by Toyota to showcase its automated driving technology, writes Brian Byrne.

A number of its prototype self-driving cars will be operating in a specific area of the city, which will be fully mapped for the technology.

Toyota says it isn't emphasising fully autonomous cars, but vehicles in which there is still a 'partnership between human and machine' under what it calls its 'Mobility Teammate Concept'.
