Self-repairing roads would be amazing.

I wonder what the economic impact to local economies would be if we could be rid of the bribes, cronyism, and nepotism that goes into civil maintenance.
I know my local tire shop would be out of business. I go through an average of 1 tire each month from potholes, and a bent rim at least twice per year.
That's insane. What state are you in?
I live in Rockland County, NY. Known for 2 things, potholes from the endless road work, and now measles!
Depending on home the road is deriving the matter needed to repair itself.
