I don't think technology to identify potholes is really necessary unless it is put to immediate use.
On the 8 mile rat-run to my workshop there is a stretch of 6 miles which has approx 120 clunking (as in "da-dum") potholes including projecting gullies on the outward and about 80 on the return. Allowing for a slight overlap this seems to be approx 180 potholes in the stretch or 30 per mile. No wonder that over the course of the 6 years I've been using the road I've had to replace a broken nearside front spring and two shock absorbers on the modern car. (I only use the modern in the winter and when the forecast shows rain.)
There are a several notable holes which would do serious damage to a spoked wheel.
Should I invite my MP (Julian Smith) for a demonstration run to display the third-world status of many roads throughout our green and pleasant land?
