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!

    If they move in front of me, so what?

    Then you’re no longer doing what you said you were doing…?

    They’ll be at the following distance I’m maintaining because they’re continuing to move faster.

    …what? That’s not how distance works? If you’re 300 ft behind and someone cuts in 100 feet in front of you, you’re now at a following distance of 100 feet. Congratulations, you’ve just failed the objective. Then you slow down, but that doesn’t matter because this happens over and over again as people try to get around you.

    I’ll go on doing exactly what you think isn’t possible anyway

    No you wont LOL. You’re lying.
