This could certainly cause the UI to falsely show alerts or refuse to enable the autopilot. But when it comes to actually reviewing a case in an accident, you would want to review the actual footage, not just the metadata. Looking at just the metadata is already problematic. For example, the “hands on wheel” metadata in a Tesla is based on angular force detected on the wheel, not actual hands on the wheel. Tesla will report that the driver didn’t touch the wheel in X seconds, when it would be more accurate to say the driver didn’t apply angular force, although their hands might have been resting on the wheel the whole time.
