Case Study: Woven Planet Group achieves production-grade autonomous vehicle development in months with Apex.AI's Apex.OS

Woven Planet Group - Customer Case Study

Woven Planet Group, Toyota’s software and research arm responsible for the Arene vehicle OS, faced the challenge of building a real‑time, deterministic, safety‑critical platform that supports vehicle‑independent APIs, seamless transition from simulation to automotive ECUs, and compliance with automotive functional‑safety requirements. To accelerate that effort, Woven partnered with Apex.AI and adopted Apex.OS for the initial product development cycle and API design.

Apex.AI provided Apex.OS plus engineering and functional‑safety services to design modular, vehicle‑independent Arene APIs, implement mixed‑criticality mechanisms, perform threat modeling, and deliver safety artifacts (Safety Manual, Technical Safety Concept, Safety Analysis and traceability) supporting ISO 26262 ASIL D and AUTOSAR C++14 considerations. The partnership enabled Woven Planet Group to produce production‑grade prototypes in months rather than years and realize multibillion‑dollar software development savings while delivering a developer‑friendly, production‑ready autonomy stack.
