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!

    You’d be horrified how many people drive off a bridge that has collapsed, it’s happened multiple times in multiple different incidents.

      I’d be horrified that physical barriers with bright reflectors weren’t put up before the bridge that was out.

        This has typically been seconds after the bridge collapsed, before emergency services could reach the site.

        Did you really think someone just demolished a bridge without putting up a sign?
