Remember the Road Runner cartoons? Wile E. Coyote was always trying to capture the fast bird with a variety of products from Acme. One of his favorite tricks was to paint a tunnel entrance on solid rock hoping the Road Runner would run full speed into the rock. It never worked but it always ended up with the coyote getting smashed. What if someone did the same thing with a Tesla to see if a printed wall would be detected by the vehicle’s cameras?
