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!

    Can this be solved with just cameras

    Theoretically yes, but in reality, not with current technology.

    but thought that would only be effective short range

    LIDAR actually has quite a long range. You can look up some of the images LIDAR creates, they’re pretty comprehensive.
