Wayve Acquires Quality Match to Boost Data Quality for Autonomous Driving
UK-based autonomous driving company Wayve has acquired German data startup Quality Match as it advances toward the commercial deployment of its AI-based self-driving system.
Quality Match specializes in data quality assurance for computer vision and artificial intelligence applications. Its 20-person team will join Wayve, with founder Daniel Kondermann becoming Director of Data. The integration is aimed at improving the robustness and interpretability of Wayve’s AI models by enhancing the quality and traceability of the datasets used to train them.
The acquisition also expands Wayve’s operations in Germany, following the opening of its testing and development hub near Stuttgart earlier in 2025. This facility supports on-road testing and development of the company’s AI Driver software, which is trained on large volumes of driving data to replicate real-world behavior.
Wayve stated that combining its autonomous driving research with Quality Match’s expertise in data assurance will help accelerate the development of safe and scalable AI systems for its future commercial rollout.
