Driverless vehicle that uses sensors to measure road surface quality and repair small cracks to stop them turning into potholes and hopefully decreasing the cost of road maintenance while improving average surface quality.
I just imagine the world becoming destroyed and uninhabitable to human life and this thing will still going fixing empty and desolate roads amongst coyote-gators and dino-insects howling at the moons.
Just get rid of all the shitty private firms and make a national company to handle the repairs cheaply and efficiently! This robot will solve nothing! I've never heard something so stupid!
So they're basically putting tar in the cracks that civils workers have stopped filling themselves when they reinstate the road after digging it up.
