solar traffic safety cone - what’s up with that?

Please don’t hurt yourself rushing to buy this piece of crappy Chinese solar technology.

No info on how a it gets solar-charged while stored in the dank, dark trunk of your Smart car…do Smart cars even have a trunk?

    Solar panels on traffic signs and call boxes have been using solar panels forever….this is nothing new…

    Intended as an example of something dumb…rather than ‘new’. Lighten up.
