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!
I love some of the stuff he does (the hot wheels race is absolute gold), but I agree. He’s only leaned further into the cringe since launching crunch labs.
To be fair, he seems to be targeting kids with his content now. Anything to get kids interested in STEM early is a win in my book.
