We have posts today about self driving cars (that cost billions in development) and rat driven cars (that probably cost under a thousand). Rats have a native understanding of snow, rain and other bad weather.

- sillysaurusx 7y agoIt would be pretty interesting to scale up the experiment. Making a control scheme for rats in a full-size car wouldn’t be too hard. But you might have to progressively train them on larger and larger vehicles. Careful not to let it out of the lab though, otherwise it might become aware of how much power it’s been given. Most powerful rat in history. :) Imagine being a rat in a full-size car. It must feel like you’re driving a house.

- SlowRobotAhead 7y agoWell... that’s the annoying thing about horses. We had self-driving transportation for the past 10,000 years. Atrocious ethics aside... I do wonder what the progress of horse-brain autonomous vehicles would look like.
