Are they going to port the old Yaris Xbox Live Arcade game to this new engine?
Idk why they are calling it console grade when their focus is largely on in vehicle displays. It’s more like threejs than unreal.
They were going with Flutter to leverage its rich UI toolkit and for “building stunning interactive experiences.”
Toyota Connected North America is Toyota Motor Corporation’s subsidiary founded in collaboration with Microsoft for working on in-vehicle software, AI, and related tech initiatives.
Toyota is interested in a game engine suited for their in-vehicle / digital cockpit experience.
Interesting - surprised they didn’t just want to contribute to Godot to make it work better for them, but its their resources I guess.
More open game engines is a good thing. But cmon, how is Flutter suitable?
Toyota going harder on gaming than Apple was not on my 2026 bingo card. Oof.
I feel like for 15 years or more Apple has been putting their chess pieces on the board just-so for gaming.
Then when you think they’ll do something they just keep shuffling the pieces about and never do anything with it.
Could have gone with a proven Godot ecosystem, then sponsored them to work on speeding up startup times and making it ‘automotive grade.’
But, no…
Why is diversity bad? Shouldn’t we want multiple avenues, as long as competition is fair?
you wouldn’t soft mod a car
It’ll probably be really good. Toyota makes good products. They make good cars, like the Supra and the 86, and they make good appliances, like the Prius.
Don’t forget about the GR Corolla!
Mmmm turbo 3 cylinder 🤤
Can’t wait for Alex Jones future rant:
They’re puttin’ Flourite in the engines turnin’ the friggin’ cars gay!
Any development time that is not spent on a new ICE vehicle is time well spent
