摘要

丰田与Waymo达成初步合作协议，共同推进自动驾驶技术，丰田子公司Woven将提供软件及移动创新方面的专长。双方计划开发新型自动驾驶平台，探索Waymo自动驾驶技术与丰田车辆工程在下一代私家车中的协同效应。合作秉承丰田“零交通事故”愿景，依托丰田安全感知技术，强化自动驾驶与辅助驾驶系统的安全性。Waymo作为美国多城市每周超25万次自动驾驶打车服务的领先者，其安全数据显示，相较人类驾驶，可减少81%的致伤事故。合作或将Waymo技术融入丰田车辆，覆盖商业车队及消费者市场。丰田中岛博树强调双方共谋全球安全影响，Waymo联合首席执行官Tekedra Mawakana则看重可扩展、可信赖的自动驾驶方案。此次合作结合丰田制造规模与Waymo人工智能自动驾驶专长，标志着向更安全、更便捷移动解决方案迈出重要一步。

Toyota and Waymo have announced a preliminary agreement to collaborate on advancing autonomous driving technologies, with Toyota's subsidiary Woven contributing expertise in software and mobility innovation. The partnership aims to develop a new autonomous vehicle platform while exploring synergies between Waymo's self-driving technology and Toyota's vehicle engineering for next-generation personally owned vehicles (POVs). Aligned with Toyota's "zero-traffic-accident" vision, the collaboration emphasizes safety through automated driving and driver-assistance systems, building on Toyota’s existing Toyota Safety Sense (TSS) technology. Waymo, a leader in autonomous ride-hailing with over 250,000 weekly trips across multiple U.S. cities, brings validated safety data, including an 81% reduction in injury-causing crashes compared to human drivers. The partnership may integrate Waymo’s technology into Toyota vehicles for both commercial fleets and consumer markets. Hiroki Nakajima of Toyota highlighted the shared goal of global safety impact, while Waymo co-CEO Tekedra Mawakana stressed the importance of scalable, trusted autonomous solutions. The collaboration marks a strategic step toward safer, more accessible mobility solutions, combining Toyota’s manufacturing scale with Waymo’s AI-driven autonomy expertise.
