Re: How would you build a car for a dog?
Dogs can learn to drive. There's been ancedontal evidence establishing that fact.
Something like a Flintstone's setup. Dog sits, paddles are up chinhigh for it, baby-seat restraints. I'm not sure how high the insurance premiums would be though, or whether those cars would meet minimum sizing requirements, but I think that's for the bureaucracy to hammer out. |

With a fitting around its jaw. You'd have to think dogs are more capable of using its head for manual dexterity tasks than a human would be.
Edit: Making sneezing dogs more of a hazard than blue-haired ladies going 54 in the fast lane, but, hey. |

I agree. If a candidate can't understand that dogs don't drive, you really don't want to hire them. [/ QUOTE ] I think thats more knowledge. I bet lots of kindergartners think dogs could probably drive if they could reach. |

Obviously, a stupid question. However, I went on an job interview many years ago, and I was asked this question. I think it might be a good question to look at thought processes as opposed to knowledge. [/ QUOTE ] The dog `drives' the car by chasing it down the road. Set up feedback loop mechanism so that the car's left rear tire is always six (+/- 1) inches from dogs gnashing jaws. The car goes wherever the dog chases it. Maybe make it a `monster truck' type vehicle so obstacles are not a problem. |

Do you see any other possiblity than that? It's the provibial dog chasing it's tail. |
