Researchers have discovered that infants as young as four months old can actually drive a robotic vehicle. A mini car called UD1 is computer driven with sensors and wheels.

It could be a major improvement for disabled kids who have to wait till they're three or five for mobilized wheelchairs.

Researchers have found the best drivers are babies who can't even crawl yet because they quickly discover this vehicle can get them around.
