Oranges. Owners originally bypassed it by wedging an orange in the steering wheel to emulate human contact

I thought that wasn't allowed yet, and that the car, besides the simple occupance sensor in the seat also had software that requires driver input now and then.
Or are those parameters subject to change on regional basis and the US is different than say Europe?
Not sure on regional coding, but people always find a way to bypass sensors. An overly simplified parallel here would be our seat occupancy sensors on the e9x which have a habit of breaking and throwing up a permanent SRS error. How many people actually fix that properly vs buying a bypass dongle to shut their cars up
