Robotic traffic cones

Researchers at the University of Nebraska are working on robotic traffic cones that can be used to open and close lanes whenever there are road repairs or accidents. Each set of robotic traffic cones has a leader with built-in GPS which all of the other robots follow, and the cones can be automatically controlled using a wireless laptop — you just click on a picture of the road wherever you want them to go. People are going to love stealing these.
