#Potholes

Google has patented a new pothole detection system in hopes of keeping drivers away from pothole-ridden streets.

Today Chrysler announced that it will recall roughly 22,100 small cargo vans because the side airbags could inadvertently deploy.

Poor road conditions have cost consumers and the insurance industry at least $27 billion over the last five years.

Are you a Bostonian who hates potholes? There’s an app for that, or at least there will be soon. The city is behind a new app for Android called Street Bump which addresses the problem.

Improved suspension and tire technology allows us to fit increasingly bigger wheels on our cars. The average wheel size in the 1960’s was 14-inches, but today, 19-inch wheels and bigger seem to be the standard, especially for Luxury and Sports cars. Couple an expensive, large alloy wheel with a low-profile tire, and you’ve got an expensive repair bill if you fall victim to one of the Northeast’s millions of potholes. But should the state have to pay that bill for you?
