Robotic traffic cones swarm on to highways.
Drudge linked to New Scientist: about this article.
"Herds of robotic traffic cones could soon be swarming onto a highway, closing down lanes and slowing the traffic.
The new road markers have been developed by Shane Farritor, a roboticist at the University of Nebraska-Lincoln, in a bid to help reduce the $100 billion per year that the Department of Transportation estimates is lost to the US economy through accidents and delays caused by highway lane closures."
No pictures. Just as well. My imagination is good enough. Herds of traffic barrels attempting to corral unruly traffic. Herd of them charging down the freeways are sure to make great sport for the Houston area commutor.
