Here's the story: https://arstechnica.com/science/2019/11/these-rats-learned-to-drive-tiny-cars-for-science/ . It has a 30s video of the rats driving.
Scientists were trying to teach rats to drive cars to find out how enriched environments affect learning. While checking the stress levels of the rats they found out that the rats loved driving the little cars around. Driving the little car was so great that there was no real difference in stress levels between the rats in the enriched environment and the rats in the unenriched environment.
Edit: From a Marxist perspective I think you can draw the conclusion that people like driving around in little cars. We need mass transit of course, but we also need bigger and more accessible go-kart tracks for the masses.
