Google could track potholes to help you avoid them down the road

[Arty]

If Microsoft did this, the title would be

"Windows 10 tracks your location using your car's GPS"

why would ms need this?

google is "trying" to do good.

 

lets put it this way, you can get a 200$ ticket here for skateboarding or swearing. yet its 100% acceptable to cross a double yellow in front of a cop to avoid potholes. yay michigan 

just ran a red light. cop ignored it.

So.... What'll happen if the road is a huge minefield of potholes with no space to weave through said potholes?

as from my own experience and other posters this seems normal and you should of expected it. The map is so you can move to a area that isnt a giant sink hole.

i live in brighton(96 and 23). the local police is BRUTAL. give tickets for skateboarding in town, or if you get caught swearing and a cop hears you its a 200$ ticket instantly. I have no idea how I got away with it. 

 

ill be the first one to say I was lucky to get pulled over by a state cop

oh no way. my mom lives right on the border of farmington and southfield, and my sis just moved to farmington. its crazy how you could be talking to someone across the world, or 5 miles away

 

edit: yeah, the cops there are good. the only spot they really get people is where M5 stops, and drops from 70 to a 45(35?) I believe. me and my dad both done stupid stuff over there and gotten away

TL:DR

google wants to put potholes on google maps so your car doesn't break!

 

 

LIVING IN MICHIGAN, This would be a blessing to have.

Living in Michigan, this wouldn't help. I've lived in Michigan, there are more potholes than can be avoided.

Again, this wouldn't help Michigan, where the road is made up more prominently of potholes than flat asphalt.

Lol, today I was at a light making a left turn and didn't notice there was a cop on the road that I was turning onto, and he was going straight.. because traffic looked like it was going to clear up I pulled up past the line and maybe enough my bumper was over the crosswalk, traffic finally slowed enough to where I could go, started going a little bit, realized the light changed to red, stopped as fast as I could, glad I didn't keep going...

 

I swear, these cops keep popping up at the worst of times...

Where I live most of it has been re-paved, so not a whole ton of potholes

for now

[Bloodyvalley]

Hah that wouldn't work here in Quebec, it'd probably tell you to get off the road entirely and walk, I hate those nid de poules. 

I think flying would be a better option

 

[PhantomJaguarr]

Really need this in California.

Wait until winter is over, they will be back.

 

(besides the potholes, you have the people who actually drive in Michigan. To whom a lane change is a declaration of war.)

AAAAHHH I can't stop laughing !!!

[AlwaysFSX]

+1 for jacked trucks

[rimazk123]

I live in Michigan too..... the roads here are just ridiculous, so thanks google

[PlayStation 2]

I mean they already track the whole god damn world so let's add potholes to this list. At least it'll be useful.

[Stomplar]

useless tech.... open the eyes
