An Indian engineer in Bengaluru got tired of potholes destroying his car. So he built an app with Codex that detects them, finds who is responsible, and files a complaint. Here is how it works. He installed a dashcam with GPS and an accelerometer. The app records everything while he drives. A vision model classifies every pothole by size. Small, medium, large. But here is the clever part. Most Indian roads are under warranty. The contractor who built them is legally responsible for fixing potholes for free. His app searches through 2,900 government contracts, finds the exact tender number, identifies the officer responsible, attaches the photo and geolocation, and generates a ready-to-file complaint. One drive to work. 12 potholes detected. 12 complaints ready. -- vc:
