China Testing Self-Driving Robotic Traffic Cones
Original: China Is Testing Robotic Traffic Cones That Drive Themselves Into Position
China is testing robotic traffic cones capable of driving themselves into position on roads. The automated cones are designed to reposition themselves for roadwork or lane changes without workers having to place them by hand, reducing exposure to passing traffic. The story is being picked up by gadget and technology outlets as an example of China's expanding use of road automation.
Why now: The novel image of self-moving traffic cones is drawing attention as a quirky but practical advance in road-work automation.
