Right, it should fail into the desired state. Electronics are wonderful to inform the driver their clutch cable broke. It may fail and tell you it's broken when it isn't. You could continue to drive and have it fixed eventually. Other data would be available so that the diagnosis can change to a defective clutch cable sensor. It can then register the defect on the manufacturer website and garages along your regular driving route and/or near your home can bid on replacing the sensor. You pick the bid most convenient to you, they order the part, you arrive at the dynamically negotiated time, they replace it immediately or give you a loaner. Long story short, I'm getting a framework laptop. (haha)
