Waymo partnered with Waze this month on a pilot program to help cities find and fix potholes.
Why it matters: Waymo says it wants to eventually roll it out in New Orleans.
The big picture: The pilot program uses Waymo's vehicle feedback systems to detect potholes.
The data is then given to authorities through the Waze for Cities platform along with user-reported pothole information, a press release says.
The pilot is in the San Francisco Bay area, Los Angeles, Phoenix, Austin and Atlanta. Waymo says it has already identified about 500 potholes in those markets.
