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!
Hi, sorry to dig this up, but i, just now, separately saw a cut down version of all the tests in mark robers video and i just wanted to say. I would be much more concerned about the heavy rain and heavy fog tests failing than a wall painted to look like a road. Frankly, they are not only realistic situations, they are also likely to happen all the time.
I cant belive i got so much pushback from not only you, but many other people in this post because i thought the painted road test was dumb and unrealistic when 2 much more pressing and common issues exist and are in the same video.
Actually in disbelief.
