The record
Written from the 1 report below. Nothing here is unsourced.
- Ather Energy has rolled out Pothole+ Alerts for owners of its Gen2 scooters, including the Ather 450 Apex, 450X and Rizta Z. The feature uses data from Ather's connected scooter fleet to warn riders about potholes, broken roads, uneven surfaces and speed breakers while navigating.
- Alerts appear on the scooter dashboard and are spoken through the rider's bluetooth headset, and the system can also suggest the smoothest route before a ride begins.
- CEO Tarun Mehta said the feature took nearly nine years, with the main challenge being gathering enough fleet data to identify road conditions accurately.
What to watch next
- Whether Pothole+ Alerts will be extended to other Ather models
- How accurate the fleet-generated road condition data proves in daily use
- Rider response to dashboard and audio-based alerts during navigation
