Toyota Woven City, Privacy and Urban Life: Practise Hypotheses and Debate in B2 French | B2 French Course · Smart Cities & Privacy
Toyota Woven City : utopie ou piège ?
Would You Live in a City That Was Also a Laboratory?
Imagine streets designed for autonomous vehicles and homes that collect information about daily life. Convenience is an obvious attraction. Who decides how the city works, and what happens to the data?
Using Toyota Woven City as a case study, this B2 French course explores the vision of a city where inventors and residents test technology together. Discuss transport design, home automation, resident selection and the role of private companies in urban governance.
Use the conditional to imagine a home you would choose, and purpose clauses to explain its design. Concession and negative constructions help you state the conditions you would accept and the boundaries you would keep. Put technological possibility and civic choice into the same French conversation.
