A new data-sharing program is helping Austin identify and fill potholes on city streets using data gathered by Waymo autonomous vehicles through the Waze for Cities platform.

The details: The free initiative involves Waymo vehicle systems tracking pothole locations and reporting them to transportation agencies. Data is also shared with Waze users, who can be alerted of pothole reports and verify their accuracy through the navigation app.

Austin street and bridge crews filled more than 1,800 resident-reported potholes in 2025, and several dozen potential pothole locations have already been identified through the Waymo data-sharing initiative so far this year. Waymo vehicles in Austin are reporting the latitude, longitude and on-street placement of potholes.

Going forward: Officials said the Waymo data-sharing program is intended to expand and could begin to include other types of reported information in the future.
