Researchers taught lab rats to drive tiny cars to get Froot Loops. Analysis of their poop showed driving reduced stress. Implications for self driving cars?
"We concluded that the rats that actually learned to drive had a greater sense of control over their environment that was accompanied by increased DHEA — something like a rodent version of what we refer to as self-efficacy or agency in humans," Lambert said in a statement. tl;dr – driving is fun https://www.nbcnews.com/mach/science/watch-these-lab-rats-drive-tiny-cars-get-froot-loops-ncna1072031 From: AF <af-boun...@af.afmug.com> On Behalf Of Lewis Bergman Sent: Friday, October 25, 2019 8:17 PM To: AnimalFarm Microwave Users Group <af@af.afmug.com> Subject: Re: [AFMUG] OT travelog No cup holders.

I am totally handicapped now with my Leaf’s adaptive cruise control and lane keeping. Just about rear-ended some cars after setting the cruise control. Also am apt to take my hands off the wheel. I am surprised such a new Mercedes does not have adaptive cruise control. At least if it does I cannot figure out how to use it. The sat-nav operation was totally unintuitive. Had a weird touch pad thing in the center console. Very difficult to program in a destination address. Never drove a Mercedes before.
