Starting in Southeast Missouri

Know the road before it knows your suspension.

No tapping while driving. Your phone does the measuring.

Crowdsourced road intelligence

One bump is a clue. Ten matching bumps are evidence.

The app accounts for speed, phone orientation, GPS accuracy, and repeat detections before a location earns a bad-road rating.

1

Drive normally

With permission, the app measures road movement in the background.

2

Confirm the pattern

Matching readings from separate drives distinguish road trouble from a dropped phone.

3

Improve the map

Road scores update as conditions worsen, crews make repairs, and drivers return.

Own a Tesla?

Could your Tesla help map rough roads?

We’re researching whether built-in Tesla sensor and dashcam data could help measure road conditions—potentially without running a phone app. This is an idea under evaluation, not a released integration.

Tesla owners wanted

Interested in helping us test it?

We’re looking for owners who may be willing to share a sample dashcam clip, test a small TeslaCam USB device, or try a future direct integration.
