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
The R&D team in Woven City Management is developing innovative products and services using technologies developed by Toyota Motor Corporation.
Our missions:
1. Develop services and products for Woven City
2. Expand capabilities through long-term R&D
Toyota Motor Corporation has been involved in a variety of technological development such as robotics and energy technologies, as well as automobile technologies. Toyota is already particularly strong in hardware and we will create additional value by developing new software on top of it.
As a first-party developer, we will not only develop innovative services essential to the city, but also a foundation upon which third-party partners can participate. Not only are we developing applications but also more core basic software and capabilities.
Our team consists of many mid-career members and members with international work experience. We strive to be open-minded as we cultivate a new culture. We work closely with Toyota Motor Corporation, Toyota Research Institute in North America, and Toyota Motor Europe to develop technologies and products. Our team consists of many members who are from foreign countries. We provide a global work environment.
We are seeking talented persons to join us to take on new challenges in creating new products and services.
