Summary
Austin’s streets are getting smarter thanks to self-driving cars. Partnering with Waymo, the city is using autonomous vehicle sensors to detect potholes and road imperfections, feeding real-time data into a free system for city crews. This tech complements citizen reports via 311, helping prioritize repairs across Austin’s 300 square miles and speeding up fixes—without replacing public input. It’s a tech-forward leap toward safer, smoother roads. Support the show: Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
