Woven by Toyota

Woven by Toyota is the software and advanced development arm of Toyota, established in 2018 and restructured into its present form in 2023, and it builds the vehicle software the group intends to run across its future models. Its work covers the Arene vehicle software platform, automated driving and safety systems, and Woven City, a purpose-built test community at the foot of Mount Fuji where the group can trial mobility technology in a real inhabited environment. Headquartered in Tokyo, it represents Toyota's attempt to develop software competence internally rather than depend on suppliers.

TEAM

    Woven by Toyota is constantly striving to create “value that does not yet exist in the world” through initiatives such as developing software platforms for vehicles and implementing next-generation technologies in Woven City. The Legal & IP Team supports these business efforts from a legal perspective.

    Specifically, we handle contract review and management, legal consultations, corporate law compliance, dispute resolution, and the establishment of compliance frameworks. The topics we address include cutting-edge fields such as autonomous driving, AI, and robotics, and it is not uncommon for us to develop solutions from scratch for new challenges that existing legal frameworks cannot keep up with. In this fast-paced environment, new challenges arise every day, but we believe that is precisely what makes our work so rewarding.

    Our team is comprised of members with high aspirations and a strong sense of curiosity. We pool our collective knowledge to tackle “questions with no single correct answer,” engaging in thorough discussions to find solutions. We offer an environment where you can leverage your expertise as a legal professional while growing personally alongside the business.
