Waymo has launched a pilot program in partnership with Waze to map potholes for transportation departments in its first five cities, the San Francisco Bay Area, Los Angeles, Phoenix, Austin and Atlanta metro areas. The company has identified approximately 500 pothole issues and plans to expand the program to Nashville over time. The data will be available to cities and state Departments of Transportation through the free-to-use Waze for Cities platform alongside user-reported pothhole information. The pilot program aims to help fill reporting gaps and support cities' efforts to maintain safer streets.
