Yep, It’s a Video of Some Dogs Learning to Drive a Car

So a bunch of New Zealand animal trainers decided to fulfill the longstanding national dream of teaching a dog how to drive a car.

Then, over seven weeks, using an intensive and tedious practice program based on chunked learning and repetition, they actually did. (The Mini Cooper is a nice touch.) If you want more, here’s a longer version of the video.

All of which goes to prove:

1) Kiwis are kinda nuts.
2) Intensive chunking and repetition are more powerful forces than we think. (After all, when it comes to learning, dogs’ brains are not that different from ours.)
3) Tediousness is vastly underrated
4) Still, Kiwis are kinda nuts.
