Emergency response teams in China are testing robotic traffic cones that can secure accident scenes without sending responders onto active roadways.
- The cones deploy from an emergency vehicle and drive themselves into position.
- They can be remotely activated or run autonomously.
- The goal is to form a safety perimeter faster and reduce the time responders spend exposed in traffic.
