Waymo is offering to help cities fix their potholes
Why it matters: Waymo's data could significantly improve the efficiency of pothole repair for cities.
- Waymo is being asked by city officials to provide data on pothole locations.
- Municipal officials in cities where Waymo operates are initiating contact with the robotaxi operator.
- Waymo's robotaxis are assumed to collect data that could be valuable for road maintenance.
Waymo, the autonomous vehicle company, is being approached by multiple cities to leverage its robotaxi data for identifying and locating potholes. This collaboration offers a novel solution for municipal officials in their ongoing efforts to maintain road infrastructure.
