A Dutch engineer built a car controlled by a goldfish swimming inside a water tank; earning a Guinness World Records title

In an extraordinary showcase of technology and pet companionship, Blub, the goldfish belonging to Dutch engineer Thomas de Wolf, successfully maneuvered a motion-sensing vehicle for 12.28 meters on a Milan television show aired on January 23, 2025. By translating Blub’s natural movements into steering commands, De Wolf envisions applications of this technology to assist people with physical disabilities, merging creativity with functionality.
