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!

Imagine being in the middle of a friendly conversation where you ask a question and the person says, "Why are you asking me?? Just google it."

I'm not the OP, so I wasn't having a conversation with them. But to me it gives off the vibe of "Random stranger, you should do all the work for me and provide all the answers, because I'm too lazy to do any of it myself."

Could just be me though 🤷
