That sounds like a hardware issue that might be soluble in "wire cutters and a bad attitude", or at minimum "hot air resoldering station, microscope, and a bad attitude". I wonder what their software stack is like, too.

Until you realize these aren't isolated systems. This is one of the 30 different sensors used to monitor drivers.

If you cut a wire, expect the car company + insurance company to become aware of the "mod" you did. Expect the car to simply not start anymore. Expect the local authorities to be notified.

We need to stop this nonsense at the legislation level, not after the fact.
