Professor designs safety device for stranded drivers
A low-tech safety device for drivers stranded on roadsides at night has been designed by a Vanderbilt engineering professor. DefCone is a series of five inflatable, illuminated cylinders vertically aligned to form a 2-foot-high barrier roughly the width of a car. The cylinders’ LED lights blink at intervals. Bharat Bhuva… Read MoreAug. 13, 2013
