Why do we still use concrete and asphalt for our roadways? Why have we not found a better material that is less prone to potholes and always feels smooth to drive on?

Asphalt is pretty much unusable tar from the oil industry mixed with rocks. It doesn’t get much cheaper.

And it does a lot of things well. It doesn’t get too slippery when it rains. It’s fairly easy to work with. Easy to recycle.
