If the vehicle deviates and the company fails - fines.
If these sensors fail, all within this time, it'll cost the company to replace or you to have it replaced.

With diesel, other tech has been developed with would place it ahead of petrol but, diesel is a dirty word so, i'm sure i read, the europeans have just banned the sale of these, excluding certain vehicles of course.
One would assume you have things like catalytic converters and various sensors added into service scheduling if this is going to occur.
