Likewise, I have yet to see one of these things that can recognize potholes and swerve to avoid them lest a wheel be ripped off. Sooner or later it'd be nice t

  That's a feature, not a bug. Swerving for potholes can be very dangerous, more dangerous than having undercarriage damage. If a pothole surprises you enough that you have to swerve you were either not paying attention to the road or you are following too close.

    tbf there's still the evaluate whether slowly changing your lane position to avoid the pothole will impede or confuse other road users, and do so only if that isn't the case option to avoid potholes, and I don't imagine [semi]autonomous driving systems do that either?

    Regardless of what's the appropriate action to take given the context (ignoring, swerving, slowing down, a timely proper change of lane) it's probably not controversial that potholes should be identified by a car vision system and taken into account. And from a computer vision perspective there's no qualitative difference between "just" a deep pothole and a lane-wide ten foot deep sinkhole or a construction pit that's unmarked for some reason, it's just a matter of size.
