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!

    Bahaha, what kind of a bizarre statement is that?

    Was he trying to imply the government only uses spreadsheets and nosql DBs?

    Or did he think it was necessary to point out that your average government employee isn’t writing their own SQL to grab data they need?

      Someone said something he didn’t like so he blurted out the first ignorant thing that he thought of, as usual.

      Even then, that’s not really correct. People grab data through sql queries all the time. Mostly because all the front ends are trash.
