Pot Hole Hound

Crowdsourced road damage map. Drive normally — let your phone do the rest.

Pot Hole Hound passively detects potholes, bad bumps, and non-flush manhole covers using your phone’s accelerometer and GPS while you drive. Detections feed into an anonymous community map that helps cities prioritize repairs based on real impact.

Why we built it

American drivers spend an estimated $26 billion per year on pothole-related vehicle damage. Most cities prioritize repairs based on whoever complains loudest. Pot Hole Hound gives them objective, crowdsourced data instead.
