About Woven by Toyota

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

We, the "Digital Twin Platform," are developing the core software platform responsible for realizing Woven City's vision: "Mobility for All: Expanding the definition of mobility to create a society where human possibilities are expanded." This platform enables inventors to test products in a virtual environment and allows for analysis utilizing data obtained from Woven City (including daily life, transportation, robotics, and energy usage).

Within this organization, the "Digital Factory" team applies technology cultivated in Woven City to actual factory environments. We aim to solve issues at manufacturing sites and optimize operations by utilizing real-time analysis.
