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
Toyota’s Woven City, which launched in September, is envisioned as a ‘living laboratory’ and ‘ever evolving’, incorporating diverse cutting-edge technologies. It will be the world’s most programmable city. At the same time, it will also be ‘human-centric’, serving the needs of its citizens and keeping people safe, comfortable, and happy.
Our mission is to create the digital heart of Woven City: a software platform called “City Platform”. All digitally connected services in the city will be orchestrated and delivered on this platform. The technical challenge is huge, and includes creating state-
of-the-art systems for collaborating microservices, identity, authentication, privacy, security, data brokering, IoT control, and much more. The platform will be open to third-party inventors who will collaborate with us to unlock the potential of the world’s smartest city.
