Self-Driving Tesla Crashes into Wall Painted to Look Like a Road… Just Months Before Planned Robotaxi Launch (fuelarc.com)

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!

Have you heard of DeArrow? https://dearrow.ajay.app/

It's a browser extension that replaces clickbait thumbnails with good community sourced ones

Thanks no I hadn't. Is that available as a Firefox extension. I do most of my browsing on desktop.

Yes, but you could have just clicked the link to find that out

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."

Well, this is a forum, not an out-loud discussion, so those are 2 completely different scenarios

They were also already given the link, so I guess:

Imagine being in the middle of a friendly conversation where someone asks for something, you give it to them, and then they proceed to ask questions about it that could be answered by looking at the thing you gave them

I give you a green round ball. You then proceed to ask me the colour and shape of the ball.

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 🤷
