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!

    How is it misleading?

    You can’t be serious? The clickbait image is something that might actually possibly happen. The image in the video is not.

      That is a distinction without a difference.

      They are both images depicting a drivable path, on a flat surface.
