Cars as Schools of Fish - Nissan Explores How Cars That Mimic Fish Can Help Avoid Collisions
Nissan Explores How Cars That Mimic Fish Can Help Avoid Collisions

Japanese engineers at Nissan Motor Co. have been studying fish and their ability to swim collision-free in large groups, and are trying to apply their discoveries to future vehicles.

So far, these engineers have successfully created robots that can travel in a group of up to seven, avoiding each other and obstacles simultaneously.  It is their hope that this technology will one day help reduce accidents on the roads.

Engineers in Japan say they are a step closer to developing technology they hope will cut the risk of car crashes—by mimicking the behaviour of fish. (ca.news.yahoo)
