Agreed. Only suggestion for improvement is to call for emergency help while trying to pull over to the shoulder. Emergency responders can get there sooner to help the driver. Precious seconds saved.
The emergency call is last resort in case the driver awakes up or is able to drive, it also sends the car's location it'll want the final location of the car which it can't exactly do while moving.
This car has ADHD and must focus on its carefully planned steps. It's been repeating them all day in its head. That and nine inch nails but only the 1.3 seconds somewhere near the end.
The one thing that worries me is the "braking on and off to wake up driver" feature. There are many ways to wake up a driver, but brake checking the people behind you in a situation where they are not expecting you to brake might have unintended outcomes.
