The Atlanta Department of Transportation is partnering with Waymo and Waze to provide free pothole data for the city. The companies announced plans last week to use their data to identify potholes and alert the city when there is an issue. The partnership could revolutionize how cities find potholas, with Ramnath Chellappa, a professor at Emory, suggesting that the technology could transform the field into high-resolution information sent on a dynamic level.
