Welcome to the United Nations
The idea for Society 5.0 was put forward for the first time in 2016 along with the Japanese government’s Fifth Basic Plan for Science, Innovation, and Technology (STI). The Sixth STI plan, adopted in April 2021 by the government, would further promote and push the developmental activities that are aligned with the vision of Society 5.0. Japan aims to allow the commercialisation of self-driving trucks by 2022, as it scrambles to breathe new life into its corporate sector. The government plans to temporarily ease regulations for some firms using what is known as a regulatory sandbox to allow companies to test new technologies right away, free of the burden normally imposed by regulation. A regulatory sandbox system will allow automobile companies to test their self-driving vehicles conveniently and on a large scale.
