Waymo and Waze Team Up to Fix Potholes
Waymo's autonomous fleet is now feeding road condition data to cities via Waze to help detect and repair potholes faster. Genuinely useful. Probably the most civic good any of these robotaxi companies have produced.
More data, better roads. 🤝 We're partnering with @Waze to help cities detect and repair potholes faster by providing data from our autonomous fleet alongside community reports. By giving cities a clearer picture of road conditions, we can help make streets safer for everyone.
