    Alright, so you probably can’t get rid of it, but you can make it look like it’s defective. Make it look like it’s sending way too many false positives. If it’s listening, just start spouting random gibberish. Some pencil-pusher at HQ sees a transcript come back that just says “reptile shoestring meridian front sawdust henway ball Amtrak septuagint ladder correct horse battery staple java thorpe 2 Chainz” over and over for like 40 pages, worst-case scenario he’s not gonna read it, best-case scenario he’s gonna think the system’s defective.

    • You’d have to get everyone with the system to do the same, otherwise it looks like 1 unit is bad. After replacing it, they’ll know something’s up if one dudes unit is putting out gibberish

      These things are smarter / dumber than that. They talk directly to the engine and transmission with canbus to record operating conditions. And they have a dedicated GPS antenna. Then they generate a live report from that data that is sent over a dedicated cell connection.

      Talking nonsense to it or driving in circles wont fool it. I recommend physical sabotage that mimics installation failure.
