If you mean the HO2 (Heated Oxygen Sensor), then that works to tell your car's ECM how rich or lean the engine is running. The ECM uses that information to adjust the fuel ratio to keep the engine's emissions to a minimum. If the Oxygen Senor is not functioning, the ECM cannot tell what the engine is doing and goes to a default, rich fuel mixture. An overly rich mixture will decrease you vehicle's fuel economy and cause damage to your catalytic converter.

What happens when a car drops something in the freeway and it hits your car?

If the object came off the other vehicle there liability coverage will pay for the damage. If it came off the road and was just kicked up by their vehicle then they are not liable for the damage. In that case it is called road hazard and would not be covered by the other parties insurance. Your insurance will pay for it if you have physical damage coverage on your vehicle.

Whoever the victim is, their auto insurance will cover medical bills. This happened to me...

Does car insurance cover damage caused by trailer detaching from vehicle?

Liability coverage extends from the vehicle that is pulling a trailer, boat, or camper. This means if you are backing up in a parking area and the camper hits another vehicle the liability coverage will cover the damage to the other vehicle. Even if you are going down the road and the trailer comes loose the liability is still attached to the trailer and damage it does to another persons property is covered by liability from the vehicle that it was attached to. The kicker is that damage to the trailer itself is not covered by the vehicle pulling it. You would have to have a policy on the trailer itself for physical damage coverage to cover damage to the trailer.
