Orange Road Cones... moving on their own???
LINCOLN, Neb. (AP) - The orange construction cones and barrels that litter Nebraska's highways may be going high-tech.
A University of Nebraska professor has developed robotic cones and barrels that can move out of the way, or into place, from computer commands made miles away.
They can even be programmed to move on their own at any particular part of the day, said Shane Farritor, an assistant professor of mechanical engineering at Nebraska. Full story...
Can you imagine one of these cones just moving out in front of your rig because someone 500 miles away thought it would be a good time to start construction there?
