Wayve acquires Quality Match, expanding German footprint for safer autonomous driving
Wayve acquires data-quality specialist Quality Match, adding 20 experts in Germany to sharpen AI datasets and accelerate autonomous driving development.
Wayve announced the acquisition of German startup Quality Match, a specialist in data quality for computer vision and AI. Twenty experts will move to Wayve, broadening the company’s footprint in Germany after the opening of a test center near Stuttgart in early 2025. For a company that treats data as the backbone of autonomy, the move looks like a logical step.
Founded in 2019, Quality Match focuses on analyzing and interpreting the training data used by models in advanced driver-assistance and automated driving systems. Quality Match CEO Daniel Konderman will join Wayve as director of data.
The deal underlines Wayve’s push to boost the accuracy and reliability of datasets required to build dependable AI systems. Germany remains central to the company’s engineering and research efforts, which adds a practical edge to this expansion.
Wayve expects the enlarged team to accelerate the development of safe autonomous driving algorithms for segments such as city EVs and future robotic mobility services.
