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 […]

      @lemmyingly @yesmeisyes Tesla’s safety systems only do emergency stops for certain

      You can see that even AP wasn’t enabled in most of the test so it’s not a test of FSD.
