How to mock external dependencies in tests? [duplicate]

I would suggest you wrap the back-end function speed_control::increase in some trait:

trait SpeedControlBackend {
    fn increase();
}

struct RealSpeedControl;

impl SpeedControlBackend for RealSpeedControl {
    fn increase() {
        speed_control::increase();
    }
}

struct MockSpeedControl;

impl SpeedControlBackend for MockSpeedControl {
    fn increase() {
        println!("MockSpeedControl::increase called");
    }
}

trait SpeedControl {
    fn other_function(&self) -> Result<(), ()>;
}

struct Car<T: SpeedControlBackend> {
    sc: T,
}

impl<T: SpeedControlBackend> SpeedControl for Car<T> {
    fn other_function(&self) -> Result<(), ()> {
        match self.sc.increase() {
            () => (),
        }
    }
}
