Uber looks to augment its data labeling expertise with acquisition of Segments.ai
Summary
Uber acquired Segments.ai to strengthen its data labeling division and expand its AI training capabilities. The deal adds LiDAR annotation expertise, which supports autonomous vehicle development and other use cases such as robotics and weather mapping. Uber also gains Segments.ai’s technology, talent, and customer base, which should help refine its own labeling platform. The acquisition comes as the market for data labeling tools heats up after Meta’s purchase of Scale AI. Uber may also use the combined technology to improve safety, object detection, and avoidance in its vehicles.
