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.
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.
Hoping it can be defeated with a strategically placed piece of tape
The guy in india getting paid $0.01 per check to look into your drivers side webcam won’t like that

Over the sensors…

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.

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.
