A sinkhole detection system and method are provided for a vehicle 302. Data received from vehicle mounted sensors (106, 108, 110 see fig 1) is analysed. When a sinkhole 304 is identified in a road ahead of the vehicle 302, vehicle operations are adjusted and the hole is reported to a shared database and/or to another vehicle. The response preferably includes stopping or manoeuvring around the sinkhole. Reporting may include vehicle to vehicle communication. Sensing may include the use of radar, LIDAR and a camera and may rely on detecting a change in elevation of a vehicle in front. The invention reduces the likelihood of accidents and potential injury.
