On the newer Ford vehicles with Adaptive Cruise Control has a driver-facing camera. If you obscure your image or otherwise hamper the camera, the ACC stops working.
Its not a full stop of the vehicle, but it prevents the user from using the thing that they paid for.
It’s even possible for the car to sound alarm constantly while ADDW camera is covered making driving unbearable but it’s still has nothing to do with stopping the car.
Just change the entire computer while your at it because they may check for error codes. Make sure your custom computer will pass all security checks your car does though.
Would it be illegal to cover the camera with electrical tape?
It stops the car.
I’m thinking of a lensed device with an LCD screen behind it, something small you can put in front of the camera.
It would need a special LCD screen, but I think my privacy is worth it.
It does not stop the car, don’t be silly. It will be reported as a malfunction on the dashboard.

Did everyone else on the road pay to die in crashes caused by idiots using Adaptive Cruise Control to read books and zone out while driving?

I guess we have to remove the alarm too, i guess that we can have mod the car control unit to disable the camera without breaking anything else tho
