Various systems and methods are presented regarding assisting an autonomous vehicle (AV) navigating a road when the road includes one or more road conditions that may be deleterious to the mechanical structure of the AV, operation of the AV, and suchlike. The deleterious road conditions can include a pothole, road debris, a speed bump, etc. Operation of a vehicle driving ahead of the AV can be monitored. The other vehicle may cause a pothole to be occluded from view by sensors onboard the AV, hence by monitoring operation of the other vehicle, e.g., maneuvering around/driving through a pothole, the AV can assess a size/location of the pothole and determine an action such as maneuver, slow down, change lanes, etc. The pothole location can be reported by the AV to enable other drivers and AVs to be aware of the pothole.
