My guess would be that the energy required to re-direct wayward space cargo to 'safe disposal' in the sun would be so great that an additional vehicle of some size would be required.
Perhaps send a Tonka car with a big booster rather than a Tesla then. There needed to be a dummy payload to test the rocket but it didn't need to go in the Mars direction.
Care to enlighten me?
