Traffic Cone Tantrum!

So, the guys putting out the cones!

What's that all about? It's surely one of the most dangerous jobs around.

I don't understand why there's not a machine to do it.

Also, there should be remote control vehicles (not much bigger than toys) that automatically "follow" the main truck (any highway truck). They should be guided by laser and have cameras and lights fitted to them.

Then, if someone were to fall asleep and drift onto the hard shoulder, they would hit a remote control car first, (which let's face it would wake most of us up!) before they hit something more substantial; like a highway truck, or more valuable; like a person.

If anyone's interested, I've got a design in my head!

There could even be a "Mad Max" version, that actually turned the laser from being a guidance system into a pre-emptive device. Boost the power on the laser and voila! Burn out any approaching vehicles tyres.

Sorted.
