On July 18, 2023, Toyota Mobility Foundation (TMF), in cooperation with numerous companies and organizations involved in mobility, held the Tateshina Meeting near the Shoko-ji Temple, which was built to pray for traffic safety, in the foothills of Mt. Tateshina in Chino City, Nagano Prefecture. The meeting aimed to promote discussion and expand collaboration among the participants, with the goal of achieving zero traffic accident casualties. Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, this was the first time the meeting was held in four years since the inaugural meeting in 2019. This year, approximately 100 individuals participated, including executives from over 30 companies and organizations from Japan and overseas, and a lively exchange of views and opinions took place. The meeting is scheduled to be held regularly from next year onward.
