In the piece — titled "Can You Fool a Self Driving Car?" — Rober found that a Tesla car on Autopilot was fooled by a Wile E. Coyote-style wall painted to look like the road ahead of it, with the electric vehicle plowing right through it instead of stopping.

The footage was damning enough, with slow-motion clips showing the car not only crashing through the styrofoam wall but also a mannequin of a child. The Tesla was also fooled by simulated rain and fog.

There was a comedy channel on Youtube aeons ago that would do "if x were honest" videos. Their slogan for Valve was "We used to make games. Now we make money."

Honest Ads is still around, they've just moved off the Cracked channel like how PitchMeetings moved off the ScreenRant channel.

It wasn't Cracked, it was a channel called Gaming Wildlife, last video on the channel was posted 6 years ago; I think they're defunct. here's the video in question.

Ah, sorry, it just sounded very similar. Still recommend the honest ads though.

It amazes me they're still doing them; feels like Roger has been at it for a decade now.
