Innovation exists everywhere,” said Aghyad Saleh, a senior data science engineer at Toyota Connected North America (TCNA). “Innovation exists in every level of the process of manufacturing and building our vehicles.”

This past year has been one of progress and plenty or change. We've celebrated man milestones, with plenty more on their way. From 2022, these numbers represent many of the highlights behind the achievements at Toyota Connected North America:

Whatever the “new normal” is, we’re likely in it. The year 2022 set us on a path toward stability gently returning after two years of uncertainty, and it also set Toyota Connected (“TC”) up for our next adventures as the company continues to evolve.

Redundancy is perhaps technology’s greatest friend.

TCNA leverages the latest technology to help provide more than 5.5 million drivers in North America with convenience, access to emergency services and more behind the wheel.

Shravanthi Denthumdas, vice president of engineering at Toyota Connected, knows what it’s like being a woman in a leadership role in engineering, on the outside looking in. She wants to make sure more women in computer science learn from her experiences, and more importantly, grow from them.

In 2016, Toyota Motor North America consolidated its main headquarters from Southern California with several other office locations across the U.S. and moved to Plano, Texas to do the same.
