Cars may one day mimic fish to avoid collisions - Imagine how that will impact on an insurance company's losses


Cars may one day mimic fish to avoid collisions

Can you imagine a world where cars avoid bumping in to one another? "Never in South Africa!" I hear you say.

Maybe not, but that's exactly what engineers at Nissan are working on. It's fascinating to watch a school of fish swimming in a given direction, then suddenly they all change direction as if it was a well choreographed piece of dance. We can learn a lot from nature indeed.

Now, imagine the savings to insurance companies, as well as to you and I if our cars were smarter and avoided those bumper bashings. I can think of a couple of clients who would jump at the first chance of having this technology installed!
