Growing up, it's every kid's dream to see their pet do something normally reserved for humans, whether it be talking, walking on two feet or riding a skateboard. Now, while some of these tricks can be taught to certain animals, there's always one pet that seems to be left out when it comes to special talents: fish. These beautifully colored swimmers are fun to watch, but outside of their ability to breathe underwater, they rarely showcase hidden abilities. However, that's all about to change thanks to Netherlands-based company Studio Diip, who've created a new product that allows fish to not only swim, but drive!
The thought of fish driving may seem ridiculous to some, but it's actually very possible. Studio Diip, who specialize in image recognition technology, have been able to make such an idea conceivable by placing a small fish tank on top of a four-wheel-motorized vehicle and using a camera to monitor the fish's every move. While the camera catches the fish, image recognition software steps into gear and navigates the car according to which direction the fish is swimming in - a simple yet complex concept.
This unique project developed by Studio Diip is simply titled "Fish on Wheels." You can check out the prototype version of the product in action below and also visit their website to view some of their other incredible inventions! Also, if you're in need your own four-wheel car to drive, head down to Pinnacle Nissan and test out one of our 2014 models now!
