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

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

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.

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

Whoever downvoted you doesn't appreciate humour.

Well, I literally CANNOT.
