Technology doesn’t only help humans move around in new ways: This project at CMU allows a goldfish to drive its tank around the room.

Nice, but can the fish distinguish between large white trailers and bright sky? Will future aquatically-driven vehicles require Fish & Wildlife Service approvals in addition to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration?

Hee hee… I think they’ll just keep driving off the road into the nearest pond 🙂

Got Something To Say:

Your email address will not be published. Required fields are marked *

To create code blocks or other preformatted text, indent by four spaces:

    This will be displayed in a monospaced font. The first four 
    spaces will be stripped off, but all other whitespace
    will be preserved.
    
    Markdown is turned off in code blocks:

To create not a block, but an inline code span, use backticks: 

Here is some inline `code`.
