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.

    They used to have it but Elmo removed it years ago as a cost cutting move.

    Now they’re the only self driving car that drives into immovable objects.

    You might remember a few years ago a guy got decapitated when his Model S drove straight into the side of a semi trailer.
