Toyota
Motor Corp (T:7203) said on Friday it is developing
a next-generation taxi for the Japanese market and that it had formed a
partnership with the Japan hire-taxi federation to explore uses for new
technology.
The Japanese automaker said its new
taxi, which it is developing in co-operation with the association, would focus
on being accessible to the elderly, families with children and foreign
tourists. It would become available in 2017, it said.
Under its partnership with the hire-taxi
association, Toyota said it would use taxis to collect and analyze information
on road traffic, applying the results to new auto technologies including
automated driving.
