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.

    A latch is like two bolts and 20 minutes. A sensor is about 4 hours of trying to figure out why the fuck it isn't working just to figure out that you need to also replace the fuses and a relay thats for some reason behind the console.

    I'm at a lost for words over how extremist you're being at the moment. The frunk isn't going to fly off, it may fly up and shatter the windshield, but it won't fly off. I'm not even entirely sure it would fly up with it being entirely stainless steel.

    And even if it does, it would probably be the least dangerous thing on the road. If you want to be extremist, every car should have a breathalyzer, eye sensors to make sure you're not on your phone or falling asleep, and you should have to renew your license with a driven test every other year.

    In fact, cars shoudnt even exist. At any point, someone could drive into a crowd and there's no limitors to prevent that.

    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.
