AI CHANGING THE WAY ROADS GET REPAIRED

The devices work like a dashcam but it gets attached to the back of a smartphone rather than a rearview mirror. While using the device a maintenance worker just needs to drive near a pothole and the AI marks its location on a GPS and sends that information to the maintenance office.
