I know of no system that's able to avoid potholes. Half the humans I know can't do it - if you're on a pothole-ridden street and have to snake your way though the maze to find the least-damaging path you should disable FSD.
Humans don't visually avoid potholes as much as they remember where they are, and they avoid them in the future.
Tesla could create a system where they used accelerometers (or some wheel sensors) to detect hitting a pot hole, and then used that data to trigger labeling of video data to train a neural network to identify a pot hole. Where they also used this detection to trigger reporting of the pot hole to whatever local agency was in charge of fixing a pot hole.
When approaching the same location they could use the cameras to determine if the pot hole was still there or not.
I personally don't see any excuse for City Streets system not to have some mechanism to avoid pot holes. At the very least to remember where they are.
