This plaque is sited on Queen Street opposite the statue of the Duke of Wellington, probably the most famous example of the tradition of Coning anywhere in Glasgow.

Is it just me, or does the latest road cone make the Duke look like he's been possessed?

The rebel group stopping #SelfDriving cars in #SanFrancisco – one cone at a time | #TheGuardian

The Safe Street Rebel group has waged a war against #robotaxis in an effort to end vehicle dominance in the city and promote #PublicTransport

"The origins of the group’s tactics are murky, but at some point it was discovered that placing a cone on the hood of a self-driving #car puts it into panic mode, shutting down the $50,000 vehicle until a human employee can come in person to get it unstuck."

‘Week of Cone’: Activist Group Is Protesting Driverless Cars by Disabling Them With Traffic Cones

"The group suspects the cone partially blocks the LIDAR detectors on the roof of the car, in much the same way that a human driver wouldn’t be able to safely drive with a cone on the hood. But there is no human inside to get out and simply remove the cone, so the car is stuck.”
