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. Find somewhere where you can get away with making obvious mistakes and then make like fifty of them in a row. "Why would I, an intelligent human being, just sit in the middle of an empty street doing donuts in an 18-wheeler for 10 straight minutes? I have a job to do," you say. If you got one of those "constantly monitoring everything you say" things Amazon tried rolling out, 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 company's paying way too much for shit that don't work.
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.
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
Wait. What's a henway? #bout5lbs
so your recommendation is sabotage of company resources and negligent operation of a transport truck
Correct horse battery staple.... I see you xkcd reference.

Find/make a recording the equivalent of lorem ipsum. Turn it on just loud enough for the system to hear.
Also, play death metal at a low volume. Or Barney.
Death Metal at low volume… how?
I’d honestly just put on some Scandinavian death metal and let the voice recognition software pick up gibberish English trying to anglify Norwegian and Swedish.
Get some earplugs, then out this on repeat for hours:

Fuck dangerously earplugged or headphoned drivers.
Deaf people drive just fine
Deaf people compensate with a lifetime of experience.
They drive well enough, but less well. Why be hard of hearing if you don't have to be? With no slight of the (big-D) Deaf intended.
Trucks are much more dangerous, having all senses available becomes much more important. There's a reason why cars must have working horns
Fuck drivers that rely on hearing to drive safely.
I suppose sirens and horns are irrelevant to you?
Not really.
Here emergency vehicles only put their sirens on for a few seconds when they're stuck behind some oblivious idiot who hasn't seen them coming and pulled over.
How's are rarely used to alert you to something you need to be aware of.
Even so, noise cancelling headphones suck at blocking that type of sound. It mitigates ongoing noises like engine sound, but not something with changing pitch like a horn or siren.
Horns are ABSOLUTELY used to alert you to something you need to be aware and prevent accidents all the time. Just because assholes like to misuse them doesn't change the reasoning on why they are required on all vehicles.
Sirens are specifically useful when you are around a blind corner and an emergency vehicle is coming toward you. Or when you otherwise don't have line of sight with the stoving lights.
Earplugs don't descriminate they just dull your senses. Noise canceling headphones are to a lesser extent a handicap.
I've been driving for 25 years.
I honestly can't remember a time when a horn has alerted me to something I needed to be aware of.
Sirens here definitely aren't used in that way. Besides which you can see the stroving lights reflecting off things. You don't need line of sight.
If headphones were such an impediment to safe driving they would be illegal. They're not.
They are in some jurisdictions.
Amazing.
