Summary Generated by Built In
Woven by Toyota is enabling Toyota’s once-in-a-century transformation into a mobility company. Inspired by a legacy of innovating for the benefit of others, our mission is to challenge the current state of mobility through human-centric innovation — expanding what “mobility” means and how it serves society.

Our work centers on four pillars: AD/ADAS, our autonomous driving and advanced driver assist technologies; Arene, our software development platform for software-defined vehicles; Woven City, a test course for mobility; and Cloud & AI, the digital infrastructure powering our collaborative foundation. Business-critical functions empower these teams to execute, and together, we’re working toward one bold goal: a world with zero accidents and enhanced well-being for all.

TEAM

The Automated Driving and ADAS group is developing a scalable, data-driven approach to autonomous and assisted driving. Our advanced vehicle architectures consist of a sophisticated network of sensors and embedded high-performance computers. The Vehicle Software Platform team focuses on developing robust, sophisticated software platforms and tooling that underpin the functionality of modern vehicles. This includes base system software, sensor integration, vehicle integration, middleware such as scheduling, logging, and replay, and inter-ECU communication.
