NTT and Toyota have agreed on a joint initiative in the areas of mobility and AI/telecommunications with the overall aim of creating a society with zero traffic accidents.
Through previous collaborations, both companies have confirmed their shared values, people-centered approach and global contributions beginning in Japan.
In order to achieve a society with zero traffic accidents, it is necessary to take an infrastructure-cooperative approach that constantly connects people, mobility and infrastructure, in addition to the advancement of driving support technology based on data-driven technology in cars and the development of future automated driving technology.
To achieve both of these, Toyota is developing Software Defined Vehicles (SDV) with safety and security as the top priority. It will also become more important to build infrastructure such as a high-speed, high-quality communication infrastructure, an AI infrastructure that can collect and intelligently process vast amounts of information, and a computing infrastructure.
NTT and Toyota will build a ‘Mobility AI Platform’ combining communications infrastructure with AI and computing platforms that can process large amounts of data. Both companies expect to invest a total of 500 billion yen by 2030, with widespread adoption expected by 2030 onwards.
