Hoping it can be defeated with a strategically placed piece of tape

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.

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.
