Why do dogs and cats cross the road?

Because they want to cross the other side of the road, and there is no concept of road in the world of cats and dogs, they only have a destination.

When the cat crosses the road, it only looks at the extremely narrow road ahead. If there are no cars in this section of the road, it will run very fast. As a result, many cats will be killed or crushed to death by a speeding car when crossing the road. The behavior pattern of dogs crossing the road is very similar to that of humans. They only make specific movements after fully observing their surroundings, and their walking speed is also very slow. Most of the time, they stop because more than one car passes by. From the superficial phenomenon, we can know that the death rate of cats crossing the road is higher than that of dogs, because the scope and objects observed by cats are limited, and they are basically in a state of carelessness, while the behavior of dogs is completely aimed at passing vehicles.

It is very understandable that a cat only cares about his eyes, because the road in front of him a second ago is a static and empty picture, so the cat naturally thinks that the faster I run, the better. The behavior of dogs and people crossing the road is somewhat difficult for me to understand. Although dogs and people are better at observing their surroundings, when crossing the road, the cars that dogs see are not on their way.

According to the visual information that the dog saw before, through the reconstruction of the visual picture, the dog can infer the possible position of the next car with imagination (presented in people's minds with an intuitive visual picture), so it will behave as a stop-and-go in external behavior. In fact, when the dog is crossing the road, his mind is constantly imagining the possible position of the car in the future world. According to this expected result, a series of behavior decisions have been made.
