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!

    So to stop robotaxis, all we have to do is paint a fake road directly into a rock wall with a painted on tunnel.

        If the roadrunner cartoons taught me anything, it’s that no matter what happens, whether you’ve been blown to smithereens or fell off a cliff and subsequently flattened by a boulder, you’ll be good as now in the next scene.
