TEAM
Toyota’s Woven City is a fully connected ecosystem powered by hydrogen fuel cells to be built at the base of Mt. Fuji in Japan. It is envisioned as a ‘living laboratory’ and ‘ever evolving’, incorporating a diversity of cutting edge technologies. It will be the world’s most programmable city. At the same time, it is also ‘human-centric’, serving the needs of its citizens and keeping people safe, comfortable and happy.
Our mission is to create the digital heart of Woven City: a software platform called “CityOS”. All digitally connected services in the city will be orchestrated and delivered on this platform. The technical challenge is huge, and includes creating state of the art systems for collaborating microservices, identity, authentication, privacy, security, data broking, IoT control, and much more. The platform will be open to third party inv entors who will collaborate with us to unlock the potential of the world’s smartest city.
In particular, the identity team is responsible for making sure our systems are safe through a combination of kubernetes native authentication, authorization and accounting systems. We empower other teams to deliver on their mission with modern technologies exploring new paradigms.
