That's how I took it to mean, they want to improve the tech so the team can run faster and longer taking the strain off of other components. But hey we're all apparently engineering geniuses who Toyota just forgot to call for our expertise.
And Toyota's board seems to be very dedicated to making the tech and a win work out. To the point they are spending R&D money for racing and wouldn't be surprised to see parts of the TS050 end up being advertised as improving their Lexus/Toyota performance cars.
