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!

    Does it? My 2023 model throws a shit fit if it’s cold and I assume the camera covers are iced over.

      It probably has cameras as well, for lane guidance etc.

      My Mazda complains if the windscreen is dirty for the same reason.
