Pretty easy to find with Google, but I'm not sure I will share as I'm fairly certain it did contribute to at least one fatality with Tesla Autopilot

Yes I've tried that out of curiosity and it does work. Are the sensors in the steering wheel itself or somewhere else like the steering hub?

Not on the steering wheel itself, but not sure if it's in the hub or by the electric assist. Its a torque sensor to sense when you are trying to counteract the motor. Often times I actually have my hand on the wheel in a position where it doesn't even sense it, which is ironically what made me mad enough to try the trick.
