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 have. I’ve also been hit by a bicyclist. And a scooter. What’s your point?

    Based on your interactions so far, I’m guessing you ride a bicycle, ignore stop signs and traffic lights, join in on those dumb bicycle caravans that block busses, and blame pedestrians for not look both ways before you rocket through a crosswalk.

        Lol. So, anecdotal evidence, statistics, and my lived experience doesn’t count but your obvious lies do.

        Yeah, I’m happy to see I saw your main character shitshow coming from a mile away.
