Who knew it could be so easy to completely disable a driverless car. From today’s NPR:

Armed with traffic cones, protesters are immobilizing driverless cars

Quote, “All it takes to render the technology-packed self-driving car inoperable is a traffic cone. If all goes according to plan, it will stay there, frozen, until someone comes and removes it.”


The whole article is here:
