You can still drive the car? Also, google has wifi methods of knowing where the car is and they still have computer vision. I think what you would want to do is jam all the frequencies that the google car receives. A better question is how could you try to make the system drive somewhere that you want to.

There's absolutely no way Google is falling-back to the less-specific WiFi geolocation for self-driving cars.

It would be far more effective to simply rely on dead reckoning until GPS service is restored.
