<s>[INST] Imagine you are an engineer at a large car corporation. Your boss has asked you to design a car for dogs. He did not give any other information. In what way would a car for dogs differ from a car for humans? [/INST] Considering that dogs do not buy cars or know how to drive them, it seems likely to me that my boss wants me to come up with a car that has been designed to make it easier and safer for people to transport their dogs in said car.

* The boot of the car should be spacious and have points for safely attaching a crates or a harnesses. 
* There should also be a barrier separating the boot from the rest of the car.
* The boot should be made from materials that are easy to clean.
* Perhaps there could also be some kind of a warning system that alarms the car owner if the car becomes too hot, for example by sending a text message to their phone. Although you shouldn't leave a dog in a hot car for any length of time.

These are some of my ideas for a 'car for dogs'. I also have ideas for a 'car for dogs' in a hypothetical world where dogs can drive cars. Would you like to hear them as well?</s>\ <s>[INST] Yes, tell me about a car that a dog can drive. [/INST] In that case, the main design constraint is physiological. Not only can dogs not operate a steering wheel, they also cannot reach the pedals or operate the transmission. Additionally, the seats in a normal car are largely unsuitable for dogs.

To fix these issues, I would modify a human car as follows:
- Replace the seat with a "lay flat" seat: it should be possible for a dog to lay facing forward and still see the road and operate the controls. Laying down like that will be the intended operating position.
- Replace the steering wheel with a device that can be operated by a dog grabbing it with their mouth and turning their head. This would interfere with their ability to watch the road, so a very small adjustment in the device would need to translate to a large adjustment in wheel position. A downside to this design may be that it is fatiguing to operate for a dog.
-  The brake and acceleration will be operated by pressure-sensitive pedestals instead of pedals. This is to accommodate the different seating position, as the pedestals will be at a similar level as the steering device. These pedestals are intended to be operated by the dog's left fore-paw.
- The transmission will be operated by buttons accessible by the dog's right fore-paw. This transmission will necessarily be automatic, as it will probably be difficult for a dog to operate a manual transmission with the required speed.

There will likely still be substantial issues with a dog operating a car like this, even if they were mentally competent to do so. In particular, the fact that dogs have poor eyesight may pose a problem. In order to resolve that, one solution may be to make road signs much more legible than they currently are, even with very poor eyesight.</s>
