driveblocks GmbH is a Munich-based software company developing autonomy and driver-assistance software for off-road vehicles in agriculture, construction, and defense. Off-road operation imposes constraints that differ fundamentally from on-road driving. Vehicles operate in unstructured 3D-terrain with slopes, vegetation, dust, and fluctuating visibility. There are no pre-defined lanes, no reliable HD maps, and single sensor systems reach their limits. driveblocks develops software specifically for these harsh off-road conditions. It fuses lidar and camera data using pre-trained machine-learning models combined with explicit algorithms to assess terrain geometry, detect obstacles and people, evaluate drivability, and generate local avoidance behaviour. This software and physical AI stack - focused on real-time perception and sensor fusion for harsh environments - is delivered through driveblocks modular platform, configurable to a wide range of sensor set-ups. The software runs efficiently on existing and new autonomy stacks. driveblocks’ founding team has long experience in research of safety critical autonomy, making its software certifiable according to European standards. driveblocks and its OEM customers already operate several vehicles in prototype environments across various verticals. The team works closely on advancing off-road autonomy with leading companies like DAF, BOMAG, Infineon, STW, and Apex.AI.

At FERNRIDE, we believe in a future where robotics unlocks human potential to create a better world. Yet today, humans still perform repetitive, risky tasks to keep our world running. These jobs, essential yet unattractive, should be performed by robots, which still fall short. We are on a mission to change that and transform critical industries through human-centric automation. FERNRIDE delivers a comprehensive ground autonomy platform to offer scalable automation solutions across industries. They span from container terminals and yard operations via defence logistics to open-road trucking. By combining AI-powered autonomy with human oversight and modular, vehicle-agnostic hardware, we enable businesses and defence organizations to harness the full potential of automation, driving efficiency and safety. FERNRIDE was founded in 2019 following 10 years of research at the Technical University of Munich and currently has over 150 employees. We are setting the standard for autonomous logistics and advancing Europe’s technological sovereignty by delivering the first-ever fully certified autonomous trucking system in Europe in 2025. Physical AI is the biggest transformational technology of our time. Backed by €75 million in venture funding from top-tier investors and trusted by blue chip customers, such as HHLA, Volkswagen, and DB Schenker, we are on a mission to build Europe’s leader in Physical AI, on track to lead the world in next-generation industrial automation.

At Wayve, we’re building a global driving intelligence that learns from data and scales across different vehicles and geographies. Founded in 2017, we have pioneered an end-to-end AI approach to autonomous driving that is faster to deploy, more flexible by design and built to scale. We deliver all levels of autonomy, from hands-off and eyes-off driving, to robotaxis. We license and integrate the Wayve AI Driver as a vehicle-agnostic software platform that runs entirely on onboard vehicle compute and native sensors. Wayve is the first and only AV company to test a single global AI Driver model across more than 500 cities in Europe, North America and Japan. We’re building autonomy for anyone, in any vehicle, anywhere.

Better datasets create better machine learning models, enabling better products.Quality Match verifies and improves the quality of datasets for computer vision and machine learning. This can be applied to: - dataset architecture (are my dataset and taxonomy good?) - measure the quality of annotation providers (is the quality as advertised?) - evaluate model performance (when does the model fail?) - supervise model-drift (is the model still working?) and many more use cases. We focus on creating actionable, quantitative metrics on dataset quality, such as: - representativeness (bias analysis) - accuracy (labels, detection rates and geometric properties of annotations) - and ambiguity (edge cases due to bad data or bad taxonomies). We do this by breaking down quality questions into a large decision tree where each node is either a training-free, unambiguous crowd-sourcing task which is repeated until statistical significance, or a pretrained machine learning model with known confusion matrix. We call this system our Annotation Quality Engine. To verify your data, we help you verifying and integrating your metrics into our Annotation Quality Engine which you will then be able to query through a simple REST API.

We co-invest with selected top Business Angels in early stage (seed / pre-revenue) technology companies. Our allstars-network includes the most experienced and successful Business Angels - were matching their investments.
