How often do you see fish run into each other? You haven’t? Well, that’s because they don’t run into each other. Scientists are studying how fish swim in schools and avoid collisions, and they hope to use what they learn to help reduce traffic collisions. By using laser range finders and radio communicators, scientists at Nissan Motors have developed robots that can travel in a group without colliding.
Now if they could only develop autopilot for cars so we can catch up on our sleep on the way to work.
