I can't figure out how to embed the video, but it's at the top of this Washington Post article.

Here's an embedded Tweet with a rat driving said tiny car:

There is no $ amount too high to determine which non-human, non-feline, non-ursine animals can drive a car.

Not so funny story. Me and my son went to pick out his first car. Found a red 2004 Grand Prix in mint shape and the dealer where I bought all my 4runners at gave me an immediate $1k off, down to $4k. We drive it home and park it in the two wide driveway. The headlights sucked so the following week we had some bitching leds put in.

The very next day my wife backs FULL throttle out of her garage into my sons week old car. Causing $2k of damage, including replacing the headlights, again. The repair shop just shook their head. My son wassss pissssed. I was the one that got to tell him about it too. She was devastated too.

I was literally just blinded by some rear end in a top hat with aftermarket LED headlamps on his car while driving home in the dark and rain, why do people do this, and would rats also do it if they could?

Rats can’t align them properly, like that rear end in a top hat. I’ve passed my son several times at night and their fine. Rats would def do the blue under carriage lights though.

Mega64 posted:

Rats get literally the opposite, which is one more reason why they're better than us.

quote:

Learning to drive seemed to relax the rats. The researchers assessed this by measuring levels of two hormones: corticosterone, a marker of stress, and dehydroepiandrosterone, which counteracts stress. The ratio of dehydroepiandrosterone to corticosterone in the rats’ faeces increased over the course of their driving training.

This finding echoes Lambert’s previous work showing that rats become less stressed after they master difficult tasks like digging up buried food. They may get the same kind of satisfaction as we get when we perfect a new skill, she says. “In humans, we call this self-efficacy or agency.”

In support of this idea, the team found that rats that drove themselves had higher dehydroepiandrosterone levels and were less stressed than rats that were driven around as passengers in remote-controlled cars.
