If my Honda can tell when I'm sitting in a seat but don't have my seat belt on then it seems like this is an easily solvable problem.

Tesla's already do this, but it's easy enough to fool - just put a bag on the seat and put the seatbelt round it.

  Tesla's also have an advanced on-board computer with an AI system that can drive a car. You're telling me Tesla can figure out how to make a car drive itself by detecting everything on the outside of the car but can't figure out how to tell if a person is sitting in the drivers seat of the car? If it's that easy to fool what does that say about the self driving AI?

    They already have a camera pointing out of the dashboard directly at the driver so they can tell if they were paying attention after a crash.

A basketball player waiting for the draft literally died yesterday because he fooled his car into thinking he had the seat belt on.

You just brought back memories of the Subaru I had that thought my backpack was a passenger. I'd throw it on the passenger seat after class sometimes without thinking about it. Then about 10 minutes down the road, it would shift and wind up triggering the sensor. So I'd be having to reach and finagle the seat belt to shut off the distracting beeping while navigating a busy stretch of road where everyone likes to drive like idiots. Very safe. Luckily the previous owners of my current vehicle were kind enough to disconnect the seat belt chime and a few other safety features that I sure haven't missed. And yes, I always wear my seat belt and so do my passengers. Ah, the old days of buckling up back packs and fish tanks, and pretty much anything else I didn't want to throw in the back that weighed over 30 lbs.
