Tesla Falls for 'Wile E. Coyote-Style' Fake Road Wall

The automatic driving features of a Tesla car have been put to the test with a fake "Wile E. Coyote wall" by an engineering YouTuber, and it didn't go as Tesla CEO Elon Musk might have hoped.

Mark Rober, who has over 65 million subscribers on YouTube, tested the vehicle's autonomous cameras by driving at a screen with an exact replica of the road behind it, in the style of a Looney Tunes sketch. The car was unable to detect the wall, crashing directly through it.
