Waymo and Waze announced a pilot program on April 9, 2026, using Waymo's perception and physical feedback systems to detect potholes and provide the data to cities and state Departments of Transportation.
The data will be available through the free Waze for Cities platform to municipal officials and visible to Waze app users in Waymo-operating cities, with user verification improving detection accuracy.
Potholes cause significant vehicle damage and contribute to crashes; cities currently rely on non-emergency 311 reports and manual inspections, which provide incomplete road maintenance coverage.
