More than motoring at Tokyo show as vehicle makers share plans for aviation, AI

[TOKYO] At this year’s Japan Mobility Show being held in the country’s capital from Oct 26 to Nov 5, cars are sharing the stage with aviation concepts and artificial intelligence (AI), among others, as the former Tokyo Motor Show expands beyond motoring towards a broader concept of “mobility”.  (* see amendment note below)  

Passenger cars have traditionally dominated the show, organised by the Japan Automobile Manufacturers Association, which comprises all major Japanese vehicle manufacturers.

In past years, the show’s highlights have often been major new releases by mainstream brands such as Toyota, Honda and Nissan.
