Speaker 1 (00:00):
So you've seen maybe or heard of the Way Moo car.
That's that driverless car. Every time I see I see them,
and every time I see one, I almost have a
wreck because I'm trying to look at if anybody's in
it or not in the driver's side of it. There's
something about my DNA. I don't know the way I'm programmed.
I just cannot feel comfortable in a car without a

(00:20):
person behind the wheel. Yeah with Michael, have you ridden
in a Weai Moo?

Speaker 2 (00:24):
Yes, I'm obsessed. I love them so much.

Speaker 1 (00:27):
But anyway, so way, Moos's teaming up with Ways. What
they're going to do is they're going to use their
their sensory whatever cameras we're talking about to detect potholes,
and then will they report the potholes to be fixed
or we'll just know when we're driving to avoid that
lane in that pottle.

Speaker 2 (00:42):
Yeah, that info's going to get sent over so that
they can show up on Ways and then it get
it fixed faster, essentially, because right now, the way potholes
are fixed is by us. It's by us like communicating
to the city like, hey, there's a pothole on this street,
can you come and fix it.

Speaker 1 (00:55):
But do we have enough pothole fillers to get like
they're going to have so much data. I'm just wondering, like,
with the abundance of pothole reports now, will we have
a chance to actually get them all filled in orne?

Speaker 2 (01:08):
I mean, we need them. There's streets that just need
to be repaved in general because there's so many potholes.

Speaker 1 (01:12):
So I wonder, you know, I'm a backseat driver anyway,
Like if I if I'm in a car with somebody,
I say, he turns, so on, what's yourself? I wonder
if I do that with a driverless car, go this
way instead, and then the voice would be like, shut up,
Ryan and put your seatbelt on.

Speaker 2 (01:29):
Put your seatbelt on.
