alt Hacker NewsI still want an iPhone app that uses the accelerometers to "geotag" bumps in the road.
You'd think a low-pass filter of a collective database of this data would quickly draw attention to the legit "bumps in the road"…
And you would think a city municipality could use this data (within a geofence, sorted by "popularity" and Newtons) to determine which potholes to tackle.

my bmw already does this somehow, always gives me a "rough road ahead" warning. I wonder if they use accelerometers

That's a good idea. Seriously. I think with a decent LLM tool you could get a POC going pretty quickly, and Code for America [0] is a pretty good resource for interfacing with governments on projects like that.

Waymo would be smart to offer this service to municipalities, especially those with supposed concerns about "safety".
