Mark Rober just set up one of the most interesting self-driving tests of 2025, and he did it by imitating Looney Tunes. The former NASA engineer and current YouTube mad scientist recreated the classic gag where Wile E. Coyote paints a tunnel onto a wall to fool the Road Runner.

Only this time, the test subject wasn’t a cartoon bird… it was a self-driving Tesla Model Y.

The result? A full-speed, 40 MPH impact straight into the wall. Watch the video and tell us what you think!

      Mark Rober is what you get when you cross veritasium with Mr beast. Someone who’s genuinely smart but they’re going to leave all that stuff out because they want the bigger audience

        I hate that this makes as much sense as it does.
