"We can't be everywhere at all times. Little cities like ours have smaller staffs. So if there's any way for people to collect and give data to us, we love it."
"It seems like they just want to tell us where to go do, what we already know we need to do. They don't coordinate with emergency responders at all."
"It's so much easier to be preventative and be aggressive about keeping these down when you can because the cost later on is so much more."
Waymo is collaborating with Waze to provide data on potholes encountered by its autonomous vehicles to local cities in the Bay Area. Burlingame City Councilmember Donna Colson believes this information will assist smaller cities facing staffing and budget constraints. However, skepticism exists among some officials, including State Sen. Dave Cortese, who argues that the initiative does not address funding for repairs and may be a public relations strategy. Colson remains optimistic about the potential for public-private partnerships to enhance road maintenance efforts.
