I have an idea for a potential Waze feature that uses smartphone motion sensors to automatically detect significant vehicle shakes caused by potholes or other road irregularities. When a shake is detected, Waze could briefly ask the driver to confirm it with **Report** or **Cancel**, then save the GPS coordinates and street name for confirmed potholes. Repeated reports from different drivers could be aggregated to identify road sections with recurring problems and visualize them as hotspots, potentially creating useful road-condition data for municipalities and road authorities. I’d be interested in hearing what the Waze community thinks about this concept and whether it could be integrated into Waze in the future.
