#driving

As expected, rats housed in enriched environments – complete with toys, space and companions – learned to drive faster than those in standard cages. This finding supported the idea that complex environments enhance neuroplasticity: the brain’s ability to change across the lifespan in response to environmental demands.

So, I fired off an email to Randy and asked him if he could use his algorithmic talents to plot the optimum road trip route across the United States.

"If you are following your GPS and all of a sudden you find yourself in the middle of nowhere with snow all around, don't go there. Turn around."

I understand why they drive this way, but man... wouldn't it piss you off if someone were doing this in your streets? "Watch and see how the American soldiers have to drive through Iraqi streets to limit risks of attacks."

"This magnet was tossed onto your car by a cyclist who felt that you might have been driving in a way that could have endangered their life."

"When we get behind the wheel of a car, we may think we gain a bird's power of flight, but actually we are poor, pathetic imitators of birds."

"if you're in stop and go traffic, ...relax and hang back..., you increase the gap to two or three and try to maintain that."
