MIT-Toyota collaboration powers driver assistance in millions of vehicles

Professor Yossi Sheffi leads MIT’s efforts to bridge deep analytics, systems thinking, and real-world mobility. Under his direction, the MIT Center for Transportation & Logistics’ Advanced Vehicle Technology Consortium has powered a decade-long collaboration with Toyota, generating naturalistic driving data and human–machine interaction insights that underpin driver-assistance features now deployed in millions of vehicles worldwide. This work exemplifies Sheffi’s belief in academic–industry partnerships as catalysts for safer, smarter, and more scalable transportation systems. Read the full article to learn more.
