Citroën says Britain can tackle its pothole problem, which it frames as a £5.5 billion issue, by using artificial intelligence to monitor roads. The company proposes deploying AI nationwide to detect and report road defects, aiming to improve how potholes and other damage are identified and addressed. Alongside the technology, Citroën calls for tighter oversight of utility companies’ roadworks. It argues that firms responsible for digging up roads and later reinstating them should face stricter enforcement to ensure repairs are carried out properly and to reduce repeat defects. The proposal focuses on both earlier detection of potholes and stronger accountability for the quality of reinstatement after infrastructure work. The sources agree on Citroën’s main recommendations: broader AI-based monitoring and increased scrutiny of utility road-reinstatement standards. Both describe the issue in terms of significant cost to Britain and present Citroën’s ideas as a route to improving road maintenance and preventing defects from recurring.
