Arene: vehicle OS and development platform.

Arene gives Toyota and its suppliers a common platform and standardized processes for better management of complex, multi-stakeholder development projects. With Arene, Toyota and its suppliers are able to maximize coordination, ensure cross-stream visibility, and simplify integration and testing.

Arene expands and accelerates software testing. With Arene, the full test flow can be automated for on-demand testing. Physical testing is complemented by virtual testing, which allows for software features to be analyzed discretely and on any model or trim for more exhaustive quality assurance.

Arene is built on the concept of kaizen, or continuous improvement. Rather than traditional linear development, the Arene platform is designed to make use of the latest iterative development methodologies. And Arene’s vehicle data and OTA capabilities allow these improvements to continue after-market based on in-market insights, extending the value of the vehicle.

The Arene OS integrates a vehicle’s domains, allowing automakers to offer richer, more holistic customer experiences that draw from across the vehicle’s capabilities. Onboard computer resources can be shared across systems, allowing the vehicle to do more with less.

Arene is designed to maximize the value of software. Through abstracted APIs, architected software layers and advanced testing protocols, Arene-developed applications are both portable across platforms and reusable across vehicle generations, meaning a bigger return on investment.
