Infrared sensors would be defeat-able. Integrated telemetry stuff (speed, driving habits, aggressiveness) no so much.

Depends on if they're tied to the CAN bus. If so, all sensors can be spoofed.

Whoever downvoted you doesn't appreciate humour.

Or maybe they know some full-form of CANNOT

[-] daychilde@lemmy.world 1 points 5 months ago

Well, I literally CANNOT.

Personally, I'm wondering what a big magnet might do to something like this.

[-] ironhydroxide@sh.itjust.works 1 points 5 months ago

Almost nothing is magnetic storage anymore. So unless you're spinning the magnet fast near the thing, you're not likely to affect the device at all.

Over the sensors…

There’s zero chance that if these sensors fail they disable the car. You wouldn’t be able to bring them in for work. So covering the sensors should easily work.

[-] XLE@piefed.social 6 points 5 months ago

Think they'd just tell you to tow the car? Tesla vehicles do this, and right now they are leading the auto industry in making cars worse.

[-] tyler@programming.dev 1 points 5 months ago

And yet you can disable the annoying slow moving beeping in any normal EV without it shutting down the car.

Car manufacturers will do the minimum possible to not piss off customers. They’re not going to deal with all the craziness of what happens if the sensors stop working when driving, and how it would slow down the car, etc. they’re just gonna make it fail safe.
