Toyota expects its Arene software platform to be deployed in 10 million new vehicles annually and across 50 car models by 2030, the company said.

Chief Technology Officer Hiroki Nakajima outlined the plans at an investor briefing in Brussels last week, according to a Toyota spokesperson. Toyota also aims to expand Arene’s deployment toward 2035, including in vehicles from alliance partners.
