AutoExec Summary
Toyota has introduced miniature remote-controlled Field Support Robots at the Summer Olympics in Paris to retrieve equipment during field events. These mini EVs are just one of the many Toyotas showcased at the Olympics, as the Japanese car giant returns as a vehicle supplier. The use of pint-sized vehicles to retrieve equipment at the Olympics dates back to the 2000 Sydney Games, with remote-controlled vehicles appearing in subsequent games. The 2020 Tokyo Olympics featured Toyota’s autonomous shuttle buses as well as a special RC car for rugby matches. Despite protests, Toyota continues to promote hydrogen at the Paris Games.
