Toyota’s ever-evolving quest to develop a self-driving car

The phrase “ most powerful supercomputer on wheels” is nothing to ignore. It may seem like Toyota is all talk when it says its going to release a self-driving car in a year. But, knowing Toyota’s dedication to technology and delivering the best for its customers, we believe the talk! However, producing a completely operational Clermont Toyota self-driving car in a year’s time will be challenging. Toyota will have to hire a plethora of software engineers, develop the necessary technology and software, reduce the price of it, test it, and mass produce it on an affordable scale. Recently, Toyota has partnered with CARMERA to develop dynamic high definition maps for development of Clermont Toyota self-driving cars and we have all the details on this collaboration and when we can expect to see results. A driverless car could be in the near future What’s being called Toyota’s moonshot, the driverless car project is one that is daunting, even for the most technologically advanced of auto manufacturers. But Toyota is confident that it can accomplish this in a year. To develop a Clermont Toyota vehicle that can drive itself, Toyota will have to successfully develop the technology, rapidly reduce the cost of the technology and software to be affordable and mass produced. To make this possible the Toyota Research Institute Advanced Development (TRI-AD) was established. Toyota has established a target of 2020 to have an Clermont self-driving vehicle released. While this is exciting news, unfortunately it will be some time before we welcome a vehicle with this advanced technology to Toyota of Clermont. The first vehicle to be released in 2020 will be a Lexus model. This is due to the price of technology being incorporated and the timeliness of the release. A higher price tag will align more with the sensors and software. Until the technology can be reproduced in a more cost-effective manner, the technology will be limited to higher-end Lexus models. To make the production of this Clermont Toyota technology possible, Toyota has forged partnerships with key companies and players. For the software creation, $2.8 billion has been invested in Toyota Group suppliers Aisin Seiki and Denso. One of the more recent partnerships Toyota has cultivated is with CARMERA. CARMERA is a technology company focused on developing high-definition dynamic maps for Clermont Toyota self-driving vehicles. The company is currently working with Toyota on a proof-of-concept project for HD maps of urban and surface roads. These HD maps will ideally be used as part of the navigation software in the Clermont Toyota self-driving vehicles that will actively chart routes and react to different obstacles and changing traffic patterns. Currently, tests are being conducted largely in highly populated urban centers like New York City and downtown Tokyo. CARMERA is also partnering with major cities to collect data regarding important statistics like pedestrian density, construction projects, and so on. The future is right around the corner While it will be some time before we see a self-driving car arrive at Toyota of Clermont, you can still shop technologically advanced Toyota models today.

Auto battery equipped vehicles for sale in Clermont.

Next generation auto batteries coming from Toyota and Panasonic

Electric vehicles are the next biggest trend in the automotive industry and Toyota has been making moves to put vehicles into this niche segment of Clermont Toyota cars. While Toyota originally engineered the Prius (the world’s first hybrid vehicle), which includes both gasoline and electric motors, the first true electric vehicle (EV) was a version of the RAV4. In a partnership with Tesla, the Toyota RAV4 EV was an all-electric vehicle that used an auto battery and could achieve a driving range of about 92 miles. Since then, Toyota has engineered various Clermont Toyota vehicles, like the Mirai and hybrid models, but it hasn’t engineered a new EV. But that all might change with a new partnership venture with Panasonic. Toyota and Panasonic aim to create next-generation auto batteries. Toyota of Clermont has the details so far and how this can change future Toyota vehicles. The future is auto batteries What does an automotive giant like Toyota and a tech giant like Panasonic have in common? The answer, auto batteries. Recently announced, Toyota and Panasonic have entered a new partnership with the focus on developing the next generation of prismatic lithium ion batteries, solid-state batteries, and other power packs to be used in future Clermont Toyota cars. The auto batteries will be used in several production Toyota vehicles and may even be sold to other auto manufacturers with production beginning in the early 2020s. Reportedly, Toyota plans to roll out as much as ten electric cars globally by the early 2020s starting with a new subcompact crossover. By 2030, Toyota is aiming to sell 5.5 million Clermont Toyota vehicles by 2030 with a target sale of one million EVs and/or fuel cell vehicles per year. Toyota aims to allocate about $10 billion toward their auto battery project and the development of EVs and other alternate fuel type vehicles. The project will likely focus on efforts to developing solid-state batteries, which are less vulnerable to extreme temperatures and have a better energy capacity when compared to modern EV auto batteries. But, while solid-state Clermont auto batteries provide many added benefits over lithium-ion batteries, they’re still unable to be used in modern vehicles and will likely take a substantial amount of time. Lithium-ion batteries are commonly used in everything from smartphones to modern electric vehicles. They're inexpensive and easily mass-produced, but they don’t come without their issues. These Clermont Toyota auto batteries use liquid electrolytes to generate heat and power, but this could cause a “runaway” effect which results in fires and rapid decay. In fact, from the time you first drive an all-electric vehicle, the battery will never have as high a range as it originally did. In comes solid state auto batteries. But, because they’re expensive to produce and too large to fit into mass produced Clermont Toyota vehicles, their ultimate development and integration is still a ways away. Toyota’s quest for better auto batteries While the development of better auto batteries is underway, it will likely be some time before you see them in your next vehicle. But that doesn’t mean you can’t shop fuel-efficient and environmentally conscious vehicles from Toyota of Clermont! We’re open seven days a week and located at 16851 State Road 50. Visit us today!

Meet Jessica Reyes with Toyota of Clermont.

Say hello to Jessica Reyes!

She’s our spokeswoman, Mr. Toyota’s best friend, and the face behind our dealership! Jessica Reyes works hard in front of and behind the camera to inform our Toyota family about deals, specials, and sales events in Clermont. While you’ve seen the commercials, social media videos, and pictures on Instagram, can you say you REALLY know Jessica Reyes? There’s more to her than meets the eye and Toyota of Clermont is here to formally introduce you! Quick facts about Jessica Where was she born? Jessica was born in New Jersey, but spent most of her childhood in Puerto Rico and Philadelphia. She’s lived here in Florida the longest and considers it her home. When did she step into the limelight? When Jessica was young, her mother signed her up for acting, singing, and pageants. She went to her first official audition when she was eight years old and from there, she dove into her career. She did weekly castings in New York City and took acting and singing classes for some time. What really drove it home for her was when a casting agent stopped to talk to her on her way home from school when she was a teenager. From there, Jessica kept working hard to get her break into the wide world of entertainment. When did she know she wanted to be when she grew up? Since Jessica was a child, she knew she wanted to be an entertainer. She loved to watch and imitate Shirley Temple when she was younger. How long has she been a member of the Toyota of Clermont family? While Tom Parks and Angie Stevens used to head the commercials and messaging for our Clermont Toyota dealership, Jessica has actually been a member of our family for almost ten years. She’s been our Spanish language spokesperson for nearly a decade and just recently became our all-around spokesperson. “For almost a decade I watched our previous spokespeople while I waited my turn to do the Spanish version of our commercials with so much excitement. Still, I can’t believe I’m actually doing both Spanish and English commercials now.” How was her transition from just Spanish language commercials to doing both languages? Jessica describes the transition as being pretty easy. The only difference is that she doesn’t have to roll the “r’s” in English! What does she like to do in her free time? Jessica likes to spend most of her free time with her family and her 2-year old son. She also loves to do charity work! Currently, Jessica has been working alongside In Harmony with Nature and DreamCatchers Horse Rescue with Toyota of Orlando and Toyota of Clermont, but she also supports causes near and dear to her heart. She loves to work with the Sunshine Foundation and Making Strides Against Breast Cancer. What else does she do for work? Jessica also works for a Spanish radio station on a morning show called “El y Ella.” She actually works on the show with her ex-husband! Yes, you read that right! The two are actually very close friends and like to help communities stay informed via their show, all while showing others that there doesn’t have to be animosity between exes. Jessica Reyes is awesome and we’re so lucky to have her as a member of the Toyota of Clermont family! If you’d like to get to know her better, check out her Instagram and Facebook, or visit her at the dealership! You can find Toyota of Clermont at 16851 State Road 50 and we’re open seven days a week.

Jessica was born in New Jersey, but spent most of her childhood in Puerto Rico and Philadelphia. She’s lived here in Florida the longest and considers it her home. When did she step into the limelight? When Jessica was young, her mother signed her up for acting, singing, and pageants. She went to her first official audition when she was eight years old and from there, she dove into her career.

Since Jessica was a child, she knew she wanted to be an entertainer. She loved to watch and imitate Shirley Temple when she was younger.
