Researchers at Ben-Gurion University taught six goldfish to ‘drive’ a motorized fish tank in just 10 days – creating a very unique driving school

A team of scientists in Israel built a Fish Operated Vehicle and taught six goldfish to drive on land.

Six goldfish were trained to use a specially-made vehicle and find their way around a room towards a food reward, say scientists at Ben-Gurion University, Beersheba, Israel.

Researchers say fish managed to take specially designed vehicle to targets for rewards, showing that navigation may be independent of environment
