Science and Cars
So, Toyota made a robot that can play a violin…
According to the company, “robotics was a natural extension of the automaker’s use of robots in manufacturing, as well the development of technology for autos related to artificial intelligence, such as sensors and pre-crash safety systems.”
Um, okay. Can you just make a car that doesn’t crash, or can drive the car without crashing? That would be nice.
Check out ASIMO in action:
This is video is so many things. It’s retarded, it’s gay, but it’s cool that they made something that can do that. It’s also funny because it looks like ASIMO has to take a crap when he runs.
Although the concept of an automotive company making a robot to play a violin seems abstract, the idea of working with a company that has that much money to develop toys is kind of cool.
Over the years, seemingly unrelated science has found it way into very useful applications in the auto industry and science and cars have gone hand in hand. New sciences have made our cars faster, safer and, just better.
All kinds of metals and synthetic materials, like aluminum and carbon fiber have made sports cars what they are today. They made them, lighter stronger, more rigid, more flexible and everything in-between.
Looking into future I can’t imagine how ASIMO’s abilities will make our cars better, but I’m sure if there’s a profit to be made, someone will find a way

Ha! Too funny man.
You’ve got good stuff. Keep writing !
He really does look like he has to take a crap when he runs. I knew a guy in college who ran like that and you always knew he was about to poop his pants. Classic.
