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!

    OK I see it now, a bunch of icons I usually glance over, because such “icon lines” are generally for a bunch of social media crap I don’t use.
    Apparently it’s proprietary crap, so no thanks anyway.

        6 hour trial, sounds like proprietary to me.

        Privacy Note: Other than intially checking your license key, no requests to DeArrow servers contain your license key.

        Edit: I just read the entire text, and it is actually very reasonable, I just caught the license key thing together with the payment option. It’s actually even cheap, so maybe I’ll consider it.

          You cannot be serious?! Are you trolling?

          • First of all, something not being free (as in gratis) does not mean it is proprietary per se.

          • Second of all, your reading comprehension failed you again:

            However, if you cannot, or do not want to pay, you can click the button at the bottom to use DeArrow for free. No worries if you can’t or don’t want to pay :)
