One for the road: This app will alert you of potholes, help prevent accidents

In September last year, a video made the rounds of the Internet showing an astronaut taking giant slow-motion leaps on what appeared similar to the surface of the Moon. However, the parody was highlighted soon when an auto rickshaw was seen passing nearby tumbling across the unstructured road filled with potholes. While the video taken by a Bengaluru artist left many netizens in splits, the artist's unique way of shedding light into the city's perennial pothole problem was lauded heavily. These deaths were out of 9423 accidents that year, in which 8792 people suffered grievous injuries such as bone fractures and slip discs. Adding insult to injury, the number of road accidents due to potholes was unfortunately more than the fatalities caused by the terrorist attacks, noted the Supreme Court.
