According to Sky News:
Potholes could soon heal themselves, according to a team of researchers.
Teams at Swansea University and King's College London have been working with scientists in Chile on the research.
Work is ongoing to develop a new type of "self-healing asphalt" which can mend its own cracks.
Self-healing potholes are touted as a solution to Britain's increasingly potty roads.
Problem is, the road needs to be paved with the new self-healing asphalt. To replace all the potholed roads with the new asphalt will take approximately 5 decades and cost billions.
It would be easier to replace all roads with tramlines and ditch cars altogether.
