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 Active Learning Loop team’s mission is to enable and accelerate development of safe, production-grade autonomy software via a world-class ecosystem of tools, platforms, data, and workflows. This ecosystem includes simulation environments; analysis and visualization tools; data pipelines; ML platform and build systems; and developer workflow orchestration and applications.
Our Product Management team leads the vision, strategy, roadmap, and priorities for this ecosystem. We generate and leverage insights from deep understanding of customers, data, and industry development trends to identify opportunities and deliver new products. We partner closely with many engineering and cross-functional teams across the globe to make efficient, rigorous, and scalable ADAS development a reality for customers both inside and outside of Woven by Toyota.
