According to The Publish Press, his show on Netflix became a top 10 hit after being described as "lightly repackaged hits," with his content becoming the number one show for kids on the platform. This reflects a significant shift in his career as a creator migrating to streaming platforms. In late December and early January, Rober released new content. What's Coming to Netflix reported that Season 2 of Mark Rober's CrunchLabs launched on Netflix around December 29th, 2025. Additionally, YouTube activity shows he posted "The Truth About my Son," which garnered 56 million views, indicating substantial audience engagement on the platform. On the business front, License Global reports that Moose Toys and Mark Rober's CrunchLabs partnership for a STEM toy line is expected to launch globally in summer 2026, expanding his brand beyond digital content into physical products. Most notably, Rober created a viral moment by testing Tesla's Autopilot system. According to reporting from AOL and TBS News, he conducted experiments where a Tesla equipped with Autopilot crashed into a painted wall designed to look like an open road—similar to a Wile E. Coyote cartoon scenario. The test also compared Tesla's camera-based system against a LiDAR-equipped Lexus in extreme fog and rain conditions. The Tesla struggled significantly while the LiDAR system performed better, prompting discussion about Elon Musk's dismissal of LiDAR technology. The Tesla test video generated substantial online conversation, with some Tesla enthusiasts pointing out that Rober used basic Autopilot rather than the advanced Full-Self-Driving beta software, though Rober responded by sharing raw footage of the test.
