Designing Safety and Trust in the SDV Era
Toyota’s Future Begins with “Mother’s Car”
Toyota redefines SDVs not as “cars that can be updated,” but as “cars whose safety does not waver even after updates.” While President Hirofumi Inoue expands the boundary of safety beyond the vehicle - toward people, infrastructure, and social systems - Jean-Francois Compeau, Vice President at Woven by Toyota, presents a software-driven method for proving that safety through verification. Yui-maru, THUMS, and GAIA symbolize Toyota’s operational strength in running safety not as an intention or slogan, but as a continuous loop of data - intervention - verification. In the SDV era, trust does not begin with impressive features. It begins with verifiable safety - safety that ensures a car behaves, tomorrow morning, just as uneventfully as “mother’s car.”
