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!

    Why is anyone interested in anything?

    My nephew was obsessed with Teslas a few years ago. I asked him why, his response? The indicators can be set to make fart noises.

    My 7 year old daughter and I watch Mark’s videos together and they have helped to spark her interest in engineering & science.
