Whoever drives in our city knows about the inconveniences that are some of the avenues we have, even though we are in the process of rebuilding, repairing and improving, there are still sections on our roads with features worthy of Swiss cheese, which cause great losses for users in maintenance and the purchase of spare parts in case of serious damage.
Here is the “solution” envisioned by Google that would like you, the driver, to avoid accidents on the road because of holes:
The technology described in the document would allow the use of sensors and GPS to detect conditions that affect the quality of the asphalt and allow drivers who pass through there later to receive alerts to avoid risks. It is assumed that the mechanisms would be added to the same Google cars that are used today to capture StreetView images, or else information from the users' own cars would be used.
The collected data would then be used so that the navigation system of the Maps provide more detailed instructions and allow drivers to be alert to the dangers on the streets - similar to what is currently happening in the Waze, with warnings about accidents, works and other things. In addition, such information would certainly benefit autonomous vehicle projects, such as the one the search giant itself has been developing for years.
Just wait ...
