An AV is described herein. The AV includes a lidar sensor system. The AV additionally includes a computing system that executes a road surface analysis component to determine, based upon lidar sensor data, whether a road surface feature is present on or in a roadway in a travel path of the AV. The AV can be configured to initiate a mitigation maneuver responsive to determining that the road surface feature is present. Performing the mitigation maneuver causes the AV to avoid the road surface feature or decelerate prior to reaching the road surface feature, thereby improving the apparent quality or comfort of the ride to a passenger of the AV.
