Toyota Motor Corporation (Toyota) has collaborated with Amazon Web Services, Inc. (AWS), an Amazon.com company, to expand Toyota’s Mobility Services Platform (MSPF), an ecosystem to help its engineers to develop, deploy, and manage the next generation of data-driven mobility services for driver and passenger safety, security, comfort, and convenience in Toyota’s cloud-connected vehicles.
The company said its Mobility Services Platform, or MSPF, which will be expanded using the AWS collaboration, will leverage the reliability and scalability of AWS’s global infrastructure, as well as development expertise from AWS Professional Services, to meet the challenge of processing and analyzing data from operations within Toyota’s worldwide fleet of connected vehicles

The partnership between Toyota and AWS extends to Toyota’s entire enterprise, and will help develop a foundation for streamlined and secure data sharing throughout the company and accelerate its move toward CASE (Connected, Autonomous/Automated, Shared and Electric) mobility technologies.
