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!

    There’s a lot of cars that check via camera too to double check, for missing/outdated information and for temporary speed limit signs.

      Where I live there are a lot of “temporary” 30km/h speed limits that were never removed by the road workers after the work was completed.
