That was a good laugh! Some of the potholes in Montreal would almost swallow the machine.
Blocking two lanes of traffic might cause a bit of cussing although it does have the upside of adding more orange cones to the scenery.

@MikeysZ06 ... @LE BARON says they need cones 
The inventor and video animator of this Machine may be assuming more jobs will not be needed than there should be.
Or is blinking yellow lights good enough ???
Also, would there have to be more than one "supervisor"?

There is already way too many people not working. This unit will not help the matter but I guess that's just where the world is headed.

I anxiously wait for the day to see this in action. Mostly I just want to see how they get that circular saw blade at 1:54 to cut that perfect circular hole..major faux pas there Dahir..... LMAO....

Ya thats what I thought....
Pieces of blade flying everywhere chopping into the taxpayers that bought that abomination....
Ok that was overly negative.. sorry.
I would love to see something like this in real life as it would possibly do a more permanent fix on the holes? In YEG some of them will rip a 40" wheel off my H1 for god sakes.
Be thankful you are not driving in Nova Scotia Derek. They are using H1's to backfill the potholes down there....
Something like that might work in a warm climate but here,when the first of the frost heaves begin,a snowplow coming down the road would rip the rectangular piece out more than likely.
And,where’s the lane closure setup guy? Oh wait,he’s on his 1/2 hr break. Union rules !!

We certainly have our share of potholes in the GTA but most of us spend our time dodging sunken manhole covers. What is it with NA road builders? In Europe the manhole covers have a concrete ring around them keeping them the same height as the road. No so much here. That includes Scandinavian countries where the weather is the same as here.
