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!

    The day I heard that was the day I realized he’s a fucking idiot and I wanted nothing to do with his cars/tech.

    Judging by how things have turned out…damn was that a good decision lmao

      They pulled the RADAR from mine just before I took delivery, unbeknownst to me at the time. I received no sort of notification.
