Engineering + AI solution to potholes

build a heavy but small truck with pneumatic machines driven by AI. Position the truck using AI over the pothole, then lower the first cutting device over the hole. Use pneumatic pressure rather than a hammering motion so it makes little noise when pushing into the road [so it can be used 24/7]. then place a second suction device to pull the released material out of the made hole. Then position a third device to put hot tarmac and other fill [e.g. if you need to bore into the foundations] into the hole. Job done – save costs and do the job properly!

btw i kept it short to just relay the idea concisely, i am not going to reinvent the wheel - everything they need already exists.

Just wondering...
Are people ready for an autonomous robot pothole machine on their street?
They might be wary of a road machine wandering around in its own and demand a human supervisor as a safety precaution, so that some curious kid doesn't get too close and end up as pavement.
Any liability for the city if an accident does happen?
Employees, union or not, might feel a bit put out losing a job. Sabatoge?

there are already one man machines.
Probably sized for an 8 hour shift with bin size enough to hold asphalt, water, and refuse collector to stay out all day. Guessing though, perhaps they make several trips to the depot during the day.
