THE TEAMS
Arene is a new and exciting vehicle development platform we are building at Woven Planet.
The Software Platform Team’s mission is to simplify vehicle software development and increase developer agility by creating tools and processes which enable novel uses of vehicles without compromising safety.
Arene Insights is a function within Software Platform which builds applications for validation and demonstration of our platform and tool-chain, instrumentation and analysis of key platform metrics and evangelization of the merits of our platform.
The Toyota Woven City is a fully connected ecosystem powered by hydrogen fuel cells to be built at the base of Mt. Fuji in Japan. It is envisioned as a ‘living laboratory’ and ‘ever evolving,’ incorporating various types of cutting edge technologies. At the same time, it is also ‘human-centric,’ that is, it is expected to keep people safe and comfortable.
Our mission is to:
1. Develop services and products for Woven City
2. Expand capabilities through long-term R&D
Our team will develop innovative services that are essential to the city. As a first party developer, we will also build a foundation upon which third party partners can participate. Therefore, we are responsible for not just the applications but also the core software and capabilities.
These teams consist of many highly experienced members with international work experience. We strive to be open-minded as we create a new culture with members from various backgrounds and nationalities. Our global team works closely with the Toyota Motor Corporation and the Toyota Research Institute in North America to develop our technologies and products.
We are seeking talented people to join us as we take on new challenges to create new products and services.
