Imagine you think you are handy and it flies off and hits someone or kills them, or blind you.
If you are handy, you can replace the sensor too. It’s not a good argument to “the latch is broken and someone wants to drive it anyway”. You can fix both. Also you can drive it at 15 mph. This absolutely is a huge safety issue that requires a fix, there is no room for negotiations and “maybe I do this instead, hmm???” - either fix it or deal with it going slow.
Great slippery slope, going to fallacies and trying to excuse a very dangerous thing on the road.
It is extremely dangerous to drive with an unlatched hood / frunk. End of story. No amount of negotiation from your side changes that. The sensor absolutely has its place and you have to look for edgecases where it still doesn’t make sense to not have the sensor.
