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!

Take a second to think about that though, why is your neighborhood bigger than entire cities? Spoiler, the answer is that it was built that way, with absolutely no thought given to how people might function if they don't want to have to drive to the grocery store or their job.
