I'm not sure what purpose it serves to teach rats to drive, but maybe they can have a rat race.
Rats have mastered the art of driving — taking tiny rodent-sized cars for joyrides in a lab experiment at the University of Richmond.
The rats were trained to drive the minuscule automobiles with pieces of Froot Loops cereal — gripping a pair of handle bars with their paws and steering the plastic car left or right, according to a New Scientist report published Tuesday.
In stunning videos of the experiment, the rats can be seen not only driving in a straight line, but reversing and doing U-turns in order to secure the sweet treat — suggesting rats are more intelligent than previously believed, scientists said.
